The generosity of donors - trusts and foundations, companies, and individual supporters - sustains the Foundling Museum’s Collections, exhibitions and investment in access, education and community outreach.

Pro Dono
Pro Dono a not-for-profit organisation which arranges one-to-one experiences
with famous figures or ‘Ambassadors’, to raise money for charity formally launched at the Foundling Museum on Tuesday 27 September 2011. The Pro Dono Ambassadors include politicians, Michelin-starred chefs, Olympic gold medallists and Hollywood actors. For a donation to their chosen charity they offer their time to meet for a lunch, dinner or activity relating to their area of expertise (for example, a cookery lesson with Raymond Blanc or a tour of Westminster with Ann Widdecombe).
Four Pro Dono Ambassadors have nominated the Foundling Museum as their chosen charity: Lars Tharp, Jon Moulton, Jacqueline Wilson, and Will Tuckett. To meet any of the Pro Dono Ambassadors hoping to raise money for the Foundling Museum - why not have a personal, guided tour of the Museum with Lars Tharp? - visit www.prodono.co.uk or email the Development Department.
The Museum’s work and successes are made possible by donors. To see a current list of supporters please click here.
