Other Ways to Show Your Support

The generosity of benefactors who make donations directly or through provisions in their Wills greatly assist the growth and variety of the Museum’s collections. One bequest, for example, was a significant factor in the restoration of the No. 1 Tram.

If you wish to consider making a gift or bequest to the Otago Settlers Association, the possibilities are:

A cash gift
A general purpose legacy in you Will
A specific purpose legacy in your Will
A distribution through your Family Trust
Donation of an artefact

Your personal advisors can discuss with you your gifts of money or other property for the general purposes of the Otago Settlers Association, for specific area of research or for particular projects.

Bequests and gifts will be acknowledged in the Association's Annual Reports and where appropriate, in the Museum’s exhibitions.

Offers to donate artefacts should be made directly to the Museum's curators who can assess the objects' suitability for the collections.
