Endowment Gifts
Unrestricted gifts to the Museum’s established endowments are always welcome. Also welcomed are restricted gifts that establish named funds to support specific areas and needs of the Museum. Contact the Development Office to learn more about establishing an endowment fund.
Gifts of Securities
The Metal Museum accepts gifts of appreciated securities, such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. Gifts of this type may offer advantages over a cash gift and may provide greater tax benefits. Those considering a gift of securities should consult with their own legal, tax, and/or financial advisors. To make a gift of securities, please review and submit this form or contact the Development Office.
Planned Giving
Planned gifts often provide effective estate options, continue your commitment to the Metal Museum, and assure long-lasting institutional support. Those considering a planned gift should consult with their own legal, tax, and/or financial advisors. If you have already named us in your will or estate plans, please contact the Development Office so that we may properly acknowledge your generosity.
Gifts-in-Kind
Individuals and businesses can provide valuable support to the Metal Museum through non-cash contributions such as donated services or products. To be sure your donation can be used effectively, please contact the Development Office before donating gifts in-kind.
Gift of Art, Books, or Archives
The Metal Museum actively collects artwork from emerging and established metal artists, as well as books, folios, and archival materials about metalworking techniques and history. All donations to the collection are reviewed for acceptance by the Curatorial staff and an appointed committee of the Board of Trustees. Those considering a gift of art, books, or archives should consult with their own legal, tax, and/or financial advisors.
