Thank you to our sponsors, supporters and donors for helping us make music therapy accessible! In 2025, we’re raising funds towards our Music Therapy Moves Us Campaign, in support of bringing music therapy services to all walks of life from newborns, to end of life, and everything in between.
For more than 30 years, the Canadian Music Therapy Fund (CMTF) has provided life-changing music therapy to those who need it most— including children and youth struggling with mental health challenges; neurodiverse individuals; and long-term care residents.
We are proud to be one of the only non-profits in Canada that provides subsidized music therapy services to those in need.
“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 Canada Needs Music Therapy campaign with the goal of raising a further $150,000 by December 31, 2025.
Together, we can keep music therapy accessible for generations to come!

After years of financial challenges and evaluation, our Board has begun a strategic transition to strengthen sustainability and expand our reach. As part of this shift, we have made the difficult decision to close the Music Therapy Centre on Bloor Street at the end of this year. We know how meaningful this space has been for clients, staff, and our community.
This change allows us to focus resources on programs that meet people where they are and support more communities across Canada. Most people never see where our work truly happens: youth shelters, community programs, long-term care homes, hospitals, and other settings where accessible music therapy can change lives. This has always been the heart of the Canadian Music Therapy Fund, and it is where your support matters most.
We are working closely with all on-site clients to ensure continuity of care and to help identify alternative programs. If you or your family need help navigating next steps, we are here. CMTF remains fully active, committed, and focused. This is an evolution that allows us to deliver our mission more sustainably and invest more deeply in off-site programs that reach those who need us most.
If you are able, a donation today helps ensure uninterrupted support through this transition and keeps accessible music therapy available where it matters most. Thank you for standing with us and believing in this work.
