Over the period 2004–6 Tate acquired over 500 works and over 30 works entered the displays as long loans. Tate’s acquisition programme was generously supported by, among others, the National Heritage Memorial Fund, the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Art Fund. Groups associated with Tate, including Tate Members, Tate Patrons and the American Fund, also played a crucial role in helping Tate strengthen and extend its holdings.
