Thank you to all our supporters

We are the Museum of the Home. We are an independent charitable company limited by guarantee set up as the Geffrye Museum Trust in 1990, registered charity number 803052, company number 2476642.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) financially supports the Trust by grant-aid. We supplement this with earned income, donations and sponsorship.

The National Lottery Heritage Fund has granted £12.3m to support the redevelopment. We have also received significant support for the capital campaign from major donors, trusts and foundations, companies and individuals.

In 2018 we were an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation.

We are immensely grateful for the additional support from the following individuals, trusts and foundations, and companies in the last and current financial years.

Their generosity enables us to share our galleries, gardens and stories of home with everyone.

 

Thank you for your ongoing support
