American citizens are invited to make financial or cultural artefact donations to the Australian National Maritime Museum through American Friends of the Museum.
This program supports research, exhibitions and co-operative ventures that explore and develop maritime links between the USA and Australia.
The American Friends of the Australian National Maritime Museum was established in the USA to garner American support for our museum. This was funded as the USA Bicentennial Gift from the people of America to all Australians in 1988.
The Museum hosts diverse exhibitions about maritime history, science, technology, art and design that connects the USA and Australia, and is a meeting place for trans-Pacific business networks.
Make a Tax-Friendly Donation
American Friends of the Museum warmly welcome donations of cash or artefacts from American citizens in support of the museum's collection and programs. Based in the USA, American donors can gain tax benefits under Section 5501C3 of the USA Internal Revenue Service Code.
