SUPPORTING HERITAGE

Membership – the best way to help protect New Zealand’s history

If you are reading this, you are likely a Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga member. You are also likely to be enjoying the various benefits that membership brings – whether this is sitting back reading our award-winning magazine, or proactively visiting some of the amazing heritage sites that your membership allows you free access to. And if you aren’t a member, what are you waiting for?! You can find out more and join us simply by scanning the QR code.

A less-known benefit of your membership is the additional voice that you bring for the heritage sector and the support that is often provided directly to help care for nationally significant historic places.

You see, many of our members support us additionally with donations, as volunteers, by purchasing retail products and gifting memberships to others. Some even go on to leave significant gifts in their Will, ensuring that they leave a legacy of support for New Zealand’s unique heritage. It is the many donations that we receive during a specific appeal for help (and as ‘top-ups’ with membership payments), as well as the countless hours that volunteers put in to care for collection items, greet visitors and so on, that really makes a difference to the work that is undertaken by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga.

If you would like to know more about how you can directly help – with time or with money – to protect our past for future generations to appreciate, then contact us at membership@ heritage.org.nz or 0800 802 010.

We’d love to hear from you.
