For many people, a gift in their Will is the most
powerful philanthropic contribution they will
ever make and requires careful consideration.
Some common questions include:
My gift is not likely to be large.
Will it still make a difference?
All gifts, no matter the size, make a significant
impact, helping to ensure our remarkable objects
and their stories live on to delight, inspire and
inform people for generations to come.
I’d like my gift to be used for a particular
museum or purpose; how do I do this?
An unrestricted monetary gift is always helpful
as it allows the Queensland Museum Foundation
to direct the funds wherever they’re most needed
when the time comes.
We understand many people feel passionate
about a particular aspect of our work or one
of our museums. If you have specific wishes
attached to a gift in your Will, we welcome the
opportunity to discuss your plans with you in
advance, to ensure we can fulfil your wishes
in future.
Can I leave an object to
Queensland Museum?
Over the years, our collections have grown
thanks to the generosity of individuals
who have left objects of significance to
the museum.
If you wish to leave a specific object or
collection of objects in your Will, we welcome
the opportunity to discuss your plans with
you in advance, to ensure we can fulfil your
wishes in future.
