Help Us Keep Our History Afloat
Every great voyage needs a crew, and our Museum relies on the generosity of people who share our passion for preserving history.
The Museum is registered with the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program and is a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR). This means your generosity can make a lasting difference while potentially offering tax benefits.
We welcome offers of donations of objects, documents and artefacts that help tell our stories and preserve our maritime heritage. Every offer is carefully considered in line with our Collection Management Policy, which outlines the guidelines for accepting and caring for gifts to the Museum.
Financial donations are also welcome, with tax-deductible receipts issued for eligible gifts.
Leave a Legacy. Make Waves for the Future.
A bequest to the Museum is a wonderful way to ensure our stories continue to be told for generations to come.
Whether you’d like to leave a gift in your Will, donate objects or collections you treasure, or contribute photographs and books to our library and archives, your gift will help keep history alive.
Financial bequests are warmly welcomed and, with the agreement of the Board of Directors, can be directed towards a particular project or purpose.
With your permission, bequests will be publicly acknowledged, and naming opportunities may also be considered.
