Migration Museum Foundation

Share your legacy for generations to come

The Migration Museum Foundation was established in 1999 to support the History Trust of South Australia’s Migration Museum. The Foundation is proud to have reached the conclusion of its 21-year campaign, whereby donations acknowledged with 2880 inscribed pavers have created the Museum’s ornamental Settlement Square installation. This place of lasting recognition gives an uplifting sense of the huge contribution made by migrants from all over the world to South Australia.

Through the Settlement Square project, the Foundation has reached over $1 million, including several Gold and Silver level donations. The Foundation is deeply grateful to all donors over the past 21 years for their generosity and interest. Our Gold and Silver Donors are listed here: if you would like to join this list of generous donors please contact us.
