Christchurch Art Gallery Trust
The Christchurch Art Gallery Trust was formed in 1991 by the Friends of the Robert McDougall Art Gallery. It was established as a vehicle to raise and hold funds for acquisitions and to ensure that the Gallery's collection remains one of the foremost in New Zealand.
The Trust also undertook the management of fundraising and receipt of funds for the building of Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu. Today the Trust continues to play an important role in cultivating relationships between Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu and its generous supporters.
As a not-for-profit organisation its primary objective is to provide ongoing, practical support to the Gallery by making funds available for collection development, collection-related and other special projects-including the development of international exhibitions-and senior staff development.
To further its support of the Gallery, the Trust has created an avenue for individuals and groups to make financial contributions to the Gallery. This innovation makes funds available for specific projects and supports the foundation of a more sustainable income stream for the Trust and the Gallery.
The Christchurch Art Gallery Trust welcomes all contributions and offers a number of different ways you can make a donation. For more information contact the Trust (tel: +64 3 353 4352 or email: cagtrust@ccc.govt.nz).
