Donations and Bequests
The Royal Society of New Zealand has an Endowment Fund to manage donations and bequests from private individuals which will help us with our work.
Through our wide range of activities, we advance science, technology and the humanities in New Zealand. Those benefiting include students, educators, researchers, scientists, technologists and the general public.
Our work is aimed at making a real difference in promoting and celebrating excellence in research, science and technology, and in encouraging young people to seek careers in these fields.
How you can help
Do you want to encourage future leaders? Or build greater national knowledge? Or support outstanding students?
We greatly value all financial contributions we receive to help us with our work. You can make a donation now or include a bequest in your will to the Endowment Fund.
We will work individually with donors to find the most suitable option to reflect their concerns and passions.
