East Coast Museum of Technology Secures $15K Grant: Honouring Our Past & Empowering Our Future

We are thrilled to announce that the East Coast Museum of Technology has successfully raised $15,000—a significant milestone that will propel our upcoming projects and strengthen our commitment to preserving our rich local heritage. As a not-for-profit organization entirely run by our dedicated family of volunteers, we continue to serve the Te Tairawhiti East Coast Community region of Gisborne with passion and a steadfast belief in the power of storytelling. Our museum is celebrated as a “diamond in disguise,” holding the timeless stories of our past and evoking memories as vivid and comforting as the aroma of grandad’s shed. This fresh influx of funding will support several exciting projects planned for the years ahead. These initiatives include the modernization of our exhibit spaces, enhanced community outreach programs, and the digitization of historical archives to ensure that our cultural legacy can be shared with future generations. We believe that our museum not only encapsulates the nostalgia of bygone eras but also acts as a bridge to tomorrow, connecting our community through the preservation of cherished memories and untold stories. As we embark on these ambitious endeavors, we are actively inviting advisory helping hands, new volunteers, and additional funding partners to join our mission. If you are passionate about community heritage and wish to contribute your expertise or resources, please reach out to us. Together, we can continue to celebrate and sustain the vibrant tapestry of our past while forging a promising future for all who call this region home.
