Give a Gift That Endures
Whether making an Annual Fund or Commemorative gift, ultimately, your tax-deductible donation provides crucial operating support, allowing the museum to preserve and maintain its world-renowned permanent collection, offer exceptional educational and community programming, and continue its tradition of free admission for all.
$50 allows the museum to bring the world of art to a child through a scholarship for an eight-week art class.
$100 makes it possible for a museum educator to lead a themed tour with curriculum connections for local schoolchildren.
$250 covers the costs of a three-hour community outreach visit by CMA employees or volunteers in costumes representing collection pieces.
$500 affords 50 sheets of X-ray film used in conserving artwork for generations to come.
