The National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) was built upon the generosity of its members-individuals, corporations, organizations, and foundations who share our goal of recognizing the achievements of women in the visual and performing arts. Today, NMWA continues to rely upon this broad based audience to support the innovative interpretive, outreach, exhibition, and research programs that the museum develops so it may educate people of all backgrounds about women who, in dedicating themselves to their art, change the role and perception of women in society.
We invite you to sustain the museum's vital work now and in the future by supporting one or more of our programs. In addition to promoting cultural enrichment opportunities in the region, across the nation, and around the world, NMWA contributors enjoy many benefits and prominent recognition for their important participation.
Other Ways of Giving The National Museum of Women in the
Arts relies on the support of our members, benefactors and friends.
Please consider including NMWA in your year-end giving plans. Your
gift of publicly traded securities, particularly stocks, bonds, and
mutual funds, not only helps the museum but can actually save you
money come tax time. Any stocks, bonds or mutual funds you have
owned for more than one year—particularly those that have appreciated
significantly—can be donated. And you are entitled to deduct the present
market value of these assets (not just the original purchase price)
and avoid paying capital gains taxes. The National Museum of Women
in the Arts relies on your continuing support throughout the year.
Giving generously to NMWA can help you reach your philanthropic goals
and provide tax benefits to help you reach your financial objectives.
Please consider making a tax-deductible gift before December 31.
