The Diefenbunker is a powerful reminder of our world on the edge of nuclear war. It tells the story of Canada’s resourcefulness, preparedness, and extraordinary efforts to safeguard our way of life in the face of a nuclear catastrophe.

Your gift makes a difference as we continue to share important lessons for future generations. Help us preserve this window into the past and to keep our blast doors open to visitors like you.

The Diefenbunker is an independent charitable organization. Cash donations are our most common way of giving, and you will receive an immediate tax receipt.

We are grateful to all those who contributed to our campaign to cover transportation costs so that more youth can take part in our unique educational programs.

With rising transportation costs and limited school resources, it is becoming more challenging for students to participate. With your help, we are able to bring almost 300 additional students from across the National Capital Region to the Diefenbunker in 2024.

Thank you for your support in providing local youth with an impactful educational experience.
