BMO’s sponsorships programs provide significant funding for festivals, cultural events and sports programs that enrich community life and promote the BMO brand. BMO selects organizations to sponsor based on community impact, business relationships and social benefit.

We sponsor professional sports team in both Canada and US, including the Toronto Argonauts and Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League, the Chicago Blackhaws, Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues in the National Hockey League, and the Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls in the National Basketball League. Additionally, BMO is a proud partner of the Montreal Impact, Vancouver Whitecaps, and Toronto FC.

BMO is proud to be Official Bank of the Calgary Stampede, and our support for the agricultural community doesn’t end there. We also support the Canadian Western Agribition, the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, and the International Plowing Match and Rural Expo.

We love our cities, too. BMO Harris is the title sponsor of the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival in Chicago, and the BMO Harris Bank Summerfest in Milwaukee.

These are just a few of the dozens of organizations we sponsor and the passions we share with our employees and customers. See profiles of all of the organizations we sponsored this year.
