2018 AFP Toronto Philanthropy Awards - Outstanding Philanthropist - Mark S. Bonham

Mark S. Bonham is an active supporter of arts, education, health, and the LGBTQ community. His significant contributions have had a lasting impact. The expansion of Casey House, an HIV/AIDS specialty hospital, in 2017 would not have been possible without Mark’s generous contribution of $2.5M to the project seventeen years earlier. This level of support was unheard of within the HIV/AIDS community at the time and was truly transformational. Their new contemporary facility allowed Casey House to expand their services along with their physical and clinical capacity to become a global leader in HIV/AIDS care. As co-chair of Egale Canada Human Rights Trust’s capital campaign, Mark helped raise more than $10M towards the Egale Centre – a new building dedicated to homeless LGBTQI2S youth. Mark’s generosity to this community also enabled Inside Out, Canada’s largest presenter of LGBT film and the world’s third largest LGBT film festival, to establish an annual scholarship for LGBT-identified filmmakers and greatly expand its operations. At the University of Toronto (U of T), he established the Bonham Scholarship for Rotman School of Management students. Established in 2000, The Bonham Chair in International Finance enables the school to advance research and education. The Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies at U of T was established in 2005 through his generous $1M endowment. Today, it is the largest degree-granting program in the world in the subject of sexual diversity and includes an undergraduate and collaborative MA/PhD program with over 350 students. Mark also serves on the board of directors and fundraises for We Are the Villagers, which financially assists children from low-income homes in northern Ontario to participate in recreational and cultural extra-curricular programs. A thought leader and hands-on visionary philanthropist, Mark S. Bonham has played a significant role in advancing organizations across the greater Toronto area. -- Video by Perry Mark of PYM Productions.
