Donate, Sponsorship & Support

Governed by a Trust Board created under an act of parliament in 1996, the Museum receives no funding from central Government. It is funded by Auckland ratepayers and from revenue generated by the Museum itself.

The Museum also receives generous support from corporate sponsors, charitable trusts and private individuals:
