Continue the Legacy of Exploration

Shackleton, Scott, and Hillary embody the qualities of truly exceptional explorers. Their remarkable stories of leadership in the face of adversity have resonated around the world for over 100 years.

By making a gift to the Antarctic Heritage Trust, you conserve their legacy, and create opportunities for young people to connect with and be inspired by the qualities of the heroic Antarctic leaders that you admire.

For a limited time, your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar.

A generous donor has agreed to match your donation from now until 30 June 2022.
This means that every $1 donated to the Inspiring Explorers^™ Fund will be matched to become $2!

Make a gift today and your donation will be matched!

• Your donation of $50 will be doubled by matching funds to $100
• $250 with matching funds will become $500
• $500 will become $1000
• Any amount you give will be matched – impacting twice as many young explorers

Your donation will support programmes like our new augmented reality app, which is bringing Antarctica to the world. The app contains two unique AR experiences, Antarctic 3D Artefacts and My Explorer Journal, which allow users to explore Antarctica without leaving the country and bring the world’s most famous fruitcake into their home.

The Trust’s core administration costs are funded by the New Zealand Government. This means that your donation goes directly to the programme. Donations of NZD$5 or more being eligible for a donation tax credit from New Zealand Inland Revenue (New Zealand individual tax payers only, please contact us for international giving options).

Any amount you can give will be matched up to $20,000 until 30 June 2022.

As a donor, you’ll receive stories of impact about conservation projects and Inspiring Explorer programme participants. You’ll also be invited to the Trust’s events, giving you the opportunity to hear stories from explorers of yesterday and today.
