The National Portrait Gallery flourishes because of philanthropy. We are indebted to the generous individuals, foundations and corporations who have helped thus far. There are a number of ways that you can assist the Gallery:
Supporting contemporary photography. Your support will help us expand our contemporary collection.
Your donation can be directed towards the collection, education and learning programs, exhibitions, publications and online programs.
Gifting a portrait ensures it becomes part of the National Portrait Gallery Collection, remaining a gift to the nation for eternity.
We understand that it’s tricky for remote school children to visit the collection. They often miss out due to distance or expense. So what we want to do is send a box of our catalogues to their school libraries.
Join the inner circle of this vibrant, creative institution and help with the acquisition of new portraits.
Leaving a gift in your Will to the National Portrait Gallery is a thoughtful way to ensure an ongoing legacy for the benefit of future generations.
The corporate community plays a vital role in assisting to further the expansion of the Gallery’s programs.
The Foundation encourages gifts, donations, bequests and legacies in service of the Gallery's mission.
The National Portrait Gallery acknowledges and thanks all its supporters.
