The MCH Heritage Conservation Fund, in collaboration with the National Trust (ACT) and the Clark family, provides for the conservation of the heritage house, grounds and collections at 11 Tasmania Circle.

We seek your assistance in promoting various approved cultural activities in whatever medium including literature, performing and visual arts, together with the preservation of movable cultural heritage such as the collections in the house.  You may choose to support a specific project or cultural field (for example, supporting publications or other work in cultural fields, or preservation work on the many historically significant images in Professor Clark’s study and elsewhere in the house).  Donations to the Manning Clark House Cultural Fund are tax-deductible on the basis of our registration.
