Tō Whare Taonga – Your Museum
The Whanganui Regional Museum Trust is an independent legal entity that owns the collection and governs the development of the Museum on behalf of the community. The Museum has a close relationship with the Whanganui District Council which provides a significant percentage of the Museum’s funding requirements.
Independent charitable trust status provides leverage for adding value to the ratepayer contribution.
Other funding sources:
- Ministry of Education contract
- Donations, admissions, facilities hire, shop sales and other services
- Fundraising for projects, operations and capital renewals through grants, sponsorship, donations and bequests
