M Shed has been made possible due to the great support of the
Heritage Lottery Fund, companies, trusts and a large number of
individuals.
We are keen to build on this by developing a group of individual
benefactors who are able to support particular areas of the
building or our ongoing learning and public programme. Just as past
residents of the City have helped to form Bristol's rich and varied
history, we are looking for new individuals who are able to support
our work and help to build a 21st century legacy.
As a registered charity, any donations made to the Bristol Museums
Development Trust (BMDT - Registered Charity No: 1137777) will be
eligible for Gift Aid for UK tax payers. We are keen to ensure that
every donation supports the element of the project which reflects
your own interests and so we would be delighted to discuss this
with you in further detail. As a small thank you for your
support, we are able to offer a bespoke range of benefits including
Director's tours, invitations for forthcoming events and
acknowledgement of your support.

At M Shed
Whilst entry to M Shed is free, we encourage all visitors to make a
donation of at least £2 to help support the museum, our collections
and our public programme. Please consider making a donation during
your next visit and choose which area you would like your gift to
support.
Make a regular gift
Setting up a regular gift by standing order to M Shed is the most
convenient and efficient way to support the Museum. This means
lower administration costs allowing a greater proportion to fund
the Museum's work directly.
To set up a regular gift, please contact the Development Office on

International Donors
M Shed also welcomes support from individuals from around the
world. We are currently establishing 501(c)(3) status so that
organisations in the USA can help tell the full transatlantic story
of this great maritime city and its links to North America - from
John Cabot, William Penn and Elizabeth Blackwell to Bristol Blitz
rubble (used on some of New York's roads!) and Cary Grant.

real difference, please contact:
