The largest single donation for the redevelopment has been a £3 million pledge from the Peter Harrison Foundation 'Opportunities through Education' programme. This is the largest single donation made by a private individual to the NMM since that of the Museum's founder, Sir James Caird.

• Heritage Lottery Fund
