Canada Needs Music Therapy Fundraising Campaign

The Canadian Music Therapy Fund (CMTF) is a registered charity dedicated to making music therapy accessible across Canada. 

Since 1994, the CMTF has helped thousands of Canadians improve their health, achieve their goals, and transform their lives through music therapy. We have spent over 30 years expanding awareness, breaking down barriers to access, and advocating for the vital role of music therapy in healthcare.

Together, we can keep music therapy accessible for generations to come!

Music Therapy Moves Us Campaign

For 30+ years, the Canadian Music Therapy Fund (CMTF) has provided  life-changing music therapy to those who need it most—children with autism, adults struggling with mental health, and seniors with dementia. As one of the only non-profits in Canada providing subsidized music therapy services, we are proud to make these services accessible

“Our mission is simple: to ensure that cost is never a barrier to accessing music therapy,” says Anna Kajtár, Executive Director of CMTF. 

To continue providing subsidized music therapy and expand access nationwide, CMTF is launching its 2025 Music Therapy Moves Us Campaign with a fundraising goal of $150,000.

Together, we can keep music therapy accessible for generations to come!
