Why donate?
Like all museums, the Sydney Jewish Museum can’t thrive on membership and entry fees alone. We receive no government funding for our operational needs, making your support crucial.
Your donation is vital to ensure we can continue our important work and uphold the legacy of the Holocaust survivors, who founded the Museum.
The Museum is often the place at which someone will encounter Jewish culture for the first time. Through the sharing of Jewish values, traditions and history in this way, we can continue to build bridges between diverse individuals and communities. It is in this way that the Museum has a powerful role in inspiring students and adults to make a difference in our world.
We deliver educational programs to students and professionals, preserve invaluable artefacts, present compelling exhibitions, and host cultural and commemorative events.
The work we do and the stories we share inspire respect, inclusivity, empathy, and a commitment to humanity.
Together, we can make a difference. Donate today.
There are many ways individuals and organisations can help
- $36 covers the cost of an education program for a disadvantaged student
- $100 provides a taxi to and from the Museum for a Holocaust survivor speaking to students
- $300 provides conservation, treatment and restoration to one Holocaust artefact to ensure it is kept in as close to original condition as possible
- $900 pays for the resources it takes for the Museum Educators to run an educational program with one class
We appreciate all donations. Donations over $2 are tax deductible.
You can also make one-off or recurring donations over the phone, on 02 8036 0115.
