 Opportunities for Giving The Tyler Museum of Art's Development Office is always available to discuss a gift to the Museum. Below are some examples of how you can support the Museum in its ongoing mission of bringing exciting and enriching art to the people of East Texas. Please call us at 903-595-1001 for questions and to arrange a time for us to visit. Exhibit/Special Events Each exhibit and special event at the Museum is an opportunity for sponsorship. You may choose to be a sole sponsor of an exhibit or simply make a donation toward the overall expenses. Sponsors are also needed for special events such as the Annual Spring Gala and the Fall Fête. Your gift will be noted in all advertising and literature, including our magazine, The Preview, plus recognition at the opening or event. Major Gifts A major gift to TMA can be made in a variety of ways. A gift of cash is one option as are gifts of stock, real estate, oil and gas interests, and bonds. In addition to providing the Museum with the boost a sizeable gift can give, your contribution can also provide you with valuable income tax savings. Please know, however, that the Museum may not be able to accept all gifts, however well intentioned. This is particularly true in gifts of real estate. Before making any final decisions, please take a few moments to sit with the Development staff and Director to determine what will be in both yours and the Museum's best interest. Planned Giving Many donors these days are choosing to include the institutions they value in their estate planning as a means of providing a legacy for future generations. Remembering the Museum in your estate will ensure that the support you provide today will continue for years to come. The Development staff can meet with you and your estate planner to map out a plan for the future. Annual Giving A museum's collection is the heart of a museum; its annual giving is the blood that keeps the heart pumping. Your yearly gift allows us to schedule exciting and stimulating exhibits in advance and provides a professional staff that is dedicated to giving you a memorable experience each time you visit the Museum. Remembrance Gifts This is a special and unique way to remember a family member or loved one on a special occasion such as a birthday or anniversary. Such gifts are always acknowledged with a Card of Thanks from the Museum staff. Remembrance Gift Form Memorial Gifts As a way of honoring a deceased loved one, please consider a gift to the Museum that they loved and supported during their lifetime. Your thoughtfulness will be acknowledged to the family with a Card of Thanks from the Museum staff. Memorial Gift Form Acquisitions The true value of a museum is measured through its permanent collection. The Museum is available to discuss acquisitions with you—whether it be the donation of a piece you already own or providing funds for future acquisitions. Please note that the Museum may not be able to accept all acquisitions offered but must stay within the spirit of the collection. The Museum Director will be happy to assist you in making a gift in this area. The Tyler Museum of Art |
