Every gift, large and small, makes a difference. You can leave a bequest (gift in your Will) to SAAM Foundation and know that all gifts are invested with this registered charitable trust to ensure the Museum’s long-term sustainability.


  • Bequests can be personal or be made in honour of a loved one.
  • The amount can be specific, a percentage of your estate, or a gift of shares or other assets.
  • Gifts of any size are welcome and appreciated.
  • Gifts will be invested in SAAM Foundation’s investment fund to support the long term sustainment of the Museum’s objectives.
  • Your gift ideally should be discussed with your family and your lawyer.

    “I give (% of estate, a nominated sum, and/or shares) to the South Australian Aviation Museum Foundation ABN 35 996 072 891 of 16 Bedford Street Port Adelaide SA 5015 for the use and benefit of South Australian Aviation Museum Pty Ltd ACN 638 320 915 / SAAM Inc, and I direct with the receipt of an authorised officer for the time being of South Australian Aviation Museum Foundation shall be a full discharge to my executors and trustee who need not see the application of any benefit hereby given.”
