Support Wellington Heritage Festival

Wellington Heritage Festival is almost entirely funded by the generous support of our friends, sponsors, and individuals.

Each year, we coordinate and promote a region-wide programme of community-led heritage events. While participation as an Event Host is free, delivering the Festival requires significant administrative, promotional, and coordination work.

Your support helps ensure the Festival can continue to grow, remain accessible, and reach communities across Te Upoko-o-Te-Ika / Greater Wellington.


Make a Donation

If you are able to support our mahi with a one-off donation, we would greatly appreciate it. All funds go directly toward the delivery and promotion of our Festival.

Wellington Heritage Festival is delivered by the Wellington Heritage Festival Trust, a registered charity (CC62729). All donations over $5 are tax-deductible.


Become a Festival Sponsor

If you represent an organisation or individual interested in supporting the Festival at a larger level, we welcome sponsorship and partnership conversations.

Sponsors receive tailored recognition and visibility across our website, printed materials, social media channels, and regional promotions.
