Secure Our Future:

Funding campaign launched in June 2020
As a not-for-profit NGO, HCNZ is currently reliant on multiple, short-term grants. In addition, we have secured valued corporate partnerships and been supported by a range of generous individuals and organisations. We are so encouraged by and grateful for that support, which has enabled us to get where we are today.
We intend to ensure that the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand can continue to undertake all of its activities well into the future. To ensure this occurs, we need a significant fund.
For more information on ways you can help secure the future of Holocaust education and remembrance in Aotearoa New Zealand please go to our website.

We appreciate you including us in your travel itinerary of museums and look forward to your visiting us.
