How you can help
Te Papa’s ambitions and obligations as the national museum are diverse and exciting but financially challenging. The Foundation is supporting Te Papa by building an investment fund of $50 million in 10 years through philanthropy and the generosity of donors.
The Foundation welcomes donations from UK residents to support Foundation activities in London and to directly support Te Papa’s ambitions.
