Philanthropy And Major Gifts

The National Museum of the Royal Navy offers unique and rewarding opportunities for philanthropists and trusts to support the preservation of our nation’s history. Our bold ambitions can only be realised with the support of passionate individuals like you. By joining us in our mission, you will play a vital role in inspiring future generations and preserving the legacy of our naval heritage for years to come. 

Every penny that we receive makes a difference, but major philanthropic gifts have the power to create extraordinary change. Your generosity will help us to advance our capital projects, preserve our historic fleet, and conserve our unique collections, and will have a tangible, lasting impact.

We will work closely with you to ensure that your donation aligns with your personal wishes and interests. Whether it's enhancing a specific part of our collection that holds personal significance, or supporting crucial conservation efforts, your contribution ensures that our historic treasures are protected and celebrated for future generations.  

We are experienced in partnering with individual philanthropists, charitable trusts, and foundations to make a difference. Whether you choose to make a one-off gift, commit to future projects, or explore matched giving, your support—whether from the UK or abroad—will help us continue our work at the forefront of preserving and sharing the story of the Royal Navy. If you choose to fund one of our projects, we will keep you updated on its progress and arrange visits for you to see the impact of your support.
