Five levels from $100,000 to $5 million+ (may be paid over five years)

Recognition:

All Major Benefactors’ names will be displayed on a permanent honours board to be erected in a prominent space within Te Papa.

Major benefactors will be thanked personally at an annual Foundation event such as a Benefit Dinner.

All benefactors will be introduced to senior
curators from Te Papa according to areas of interest.

Where possible donors and their families may be provided experiences with collection items which are not always on public display.

Unless separate arrangements are agreed, benefactors will be named once 20 percent of the gift has been paid.

At least 20 percent will then be paid annually thereafter with the entire balance received within five years.
