Support us

With your support, the Royal Museum Project will transform a much loved national landmark into a museum for the 21st century and beyond.

Register your details to keep up to date with all of the exciting developments and to find out how you can support the project!

The significance of the Project has been recognised by major awards from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Scottish Government, totalling £34 million. We are seeking a further £12 million from other sources to complete the Project, and have already amassed over £8 million in donations and pledges. But there’s still some way to go.

We invite your help to ensure that collections will be preserved for future generations, and to send visitors new and old on their own voyages of discovery in the new Museum.

There are many ways in which you can make a difference:

Donations

Generous private donations have already been made to the Project, but more are needed to help us reach our goal. We welcome both one-off and regular gifts spread throughout the campaign.
If you are a UK taxpayer, you can increase your support by making a Gift Aid declaration. This Inland Revenue scheme means that for every £1 you give, we can claim an extra 28p, at no extra cost to you.

The Gift of Shares

Giving shares can benefit both you and the Royal Museum Project, thanks to valuable tax relief. If you would like further information about this please contact the Campaign Team.

Legacies

A gift in your will can make an enduring contribution, bringing pleasure to visitors and preserving objects for generations. As gifts to charities are exempt from inheritance tax, a bequest can also relieve some of the tax burden on your estate.

A gift in memory

Making a donation in memory of a loved one will provide a lasting legacy and afford you the opportunity to remember someone special in the new National Museum of Scotland.

Recognition

We value every gift to the Royal Museum campaign. We would welcome the opportunity to talk to you about ways in which you would like to support the Project, and how we may recognise your contribution.

Every contribution, large or small, is important to us. If you would like to hear more about the possibilities for supporting the Royal Museum Project, please contact the Campaign Team at campaign@nms.ac.uk or call 44 (0)131 247 4095.
