Donate to Sydney Living Museums
As a unique agency tasked with preserving, conserving and maintaining heritage properties in NSW, fundraising allows us to develop aspirational and inspirational public programs, acquire objects of national significance, add to our collections, develop educational programs, and put on community events.
Our cultural institutions are our societies’ collective memory banks, and supporting them in this era of rapid change is more important than ever before.

About the Sydney Living Museums Foundation
The Foundation supports and assists the Board of Trustees by encouraging philanthropic support and interest in the work of Sydney Living Museums.
With a portfolio of 12 properties, including UNESCO World Heritage-listed Hyde Park Barracks and The Mint, philanthropy is essential to ensure we continue to care and preserve our unique sites for future generations.
