How much did you raise through the appeal to save the Macclesfield Psalter?
The ‘Save the Psalter’ appeal raised 180,000 through 2,000 donations, ranging from 1 to 15,000. Donations were from Art Fund members, supporters of the Fitzwilliam Museum and the general public in response to the appeal that we launched on the BBC’s Culture Show. The campaign was kicked off with a 500,000 grant from the Art Fund. Then 860,000 came from the National Heritage Memorial Fund, 150,000 from the Fitzwilliam Museum and its Friends and 180,000 from the public appeal, which enabled the 1.7 million asking price to be reached with just two weeks to go. We would like to thank members for their generosity.
