Support the Air Force Museum of New Zealand

Whether you’d like to make a one-off gift or become a Regular Supporter, you can choose where your donation makes a difference.

New Exhibition Hall

Home for Heroes

Help us build a new exhibition hall for two of New Zealand’s most iconic aircraft — the Hercules and the Orion.

These irreplaceable national taonga (treasure) represent decades of service, from global humanitarian missions to vital search and rescue operations that helped keep New Zealand safe.

Both aircraft are currently in temporary storage, too large for our existing buildings and too important to remain unseen. Your support will help us create a dedicated Exhibition Hall where they can be preserved, celebrated, and shared with all New Zealanders.

Museum Fund

Preserve Our Heritage, Inspire the Future

Help us care for our collections, develop exhibitions, and keep the Museum inspiring, engaging and accessible for everyone. Your gift supports the everyday work of preserving Air Force heritage and creating memorable experiences for visitors and their whānau.

Your donation will help us:

  • protect and preserve these historic aircraft and collections
  • share their remarkable stories of service
  • create an engaging space for visitors and their whānau
  • deliver free education and community programmes

Be part of the journey

Your generosity will help bring this Exhibition Hall to life, protecting our heritage and inspiring future generations.
