By sponsoring an item from The Zay Collection, you, or a loved one, can contribute to the protection and documentation of our dress heritage.

This will support our research team to document and archive our growing collection, to make it available for study in our online collection, and to be able to store, display, and exhibit these treasures.

Becoming a Custodian of the Dress is the perfect way to contribute to sustaining the legacy for those who want to support The Zay Initiative in a tangible way. By sponsoring a dress in the name of a friend or a loved one, you can bless them with the gift of honour, gratitude, and recognition, or honour a loved one who has passed in remembrance of them.

As a Custodian of the Dress, you will receive a [photo card of the dress], a [digital Badge of Honour], and your name will be displayed with the item in our collection as recognition for your valuable support and contribution.

After one year you will have the option to renew your role as custodian or pass it on to someone else.
