Achieving big things – together.

Our major benefactors work in partnership with Te Papa and the Te Papa Foundation to achieve transformational change – capital building projects, major exhibitions, acquisitions for the permanent collection, Te Papa Press publications and significant bodies of scientific research.

In return they receive a highly tailored programme of engagement, including access to the expertise of Te Papa’s curators and conservators, and recognition of their support in media releases, speeches and marketing material as appropriate.
