Leave a legacy

Protecting the planet over the next century will constitute an immense challenge for humanity. Providing a legacy for the Museum is one way you can help preserve the beauty of our world for generations to come.

Science and education are needed at the forefront of the process to identify major threats and prioritise action, but in an age where traditional funding sources are increasingly restricted we must look to our closest friends for support.

Future generations of children, students, parents, teachers and researchers will be among the many that will benefit from your generosity today. Your legacy, no matter what size, will mean a great deal to the Museum.

If you would like a discussion in confidence about leaving the Museum a legacy or receive further information, please contact:
