Under Australian tax legislation, gifts to the Powerhouse Museum are tax deductible.

There are three main ways to contribute to the Powerhouse Museum:

Making a gift of objects
The Powerhouse Museum welcomes gifts of objects for the collection. Talk to us about what you would like to donate and we will assess it to ensure it meets the Museum's collection policy. Where appropriate, the Museum will assist in valuing your gift and submitting your claim as a tax deduction through the government's cultural gifts program.

Making a bequest
You may wish to leave significant items or funds to The Powerhouse Foundation or the Museum directly in your Will. In some cases, the federal government also offers taxation benefits to your Estate or to you during your lifetime.
