For more than three decades, the Friends of the Royal BC Museum Foundation has provided both moral and financial support to the Museum.

Our over 10,000 members enjoy numerous benefits for a modest membership fee: unlimited visits to the permanent galleries of the Museum plus discounts at the spectacular National Geographic IMAX Theatre, the Royal BC Museum Shop and the National Geographic Shop.

Membership in the Friends Foundation pays for itself in just 3 visits!

The Friends Foundation contribute to the Museum in many ways. Our Royal Museum Shop and special gallery shops that accompany temporary exhibitions raise significant revenue. Our Development Programmes encourage giving and involvement in a variety of ways:

• the annual President's Appeal
• Governor's Circle (individuals who donate more than $500 per year)
• Corporate Members
• RBCM Fund with the Seattle Foundation for our Friends in the US

Our commitment is growing! The Board of Directors of the Friends Foundation, with the support of our donors is going to increase philanthropic support for Museum programs.
