Planned Giving

We invite you to share your enjoyment of The Art League with others in a deep and lasting way by making a planned gift and joining The Art League’s Masterpiece Society.

By making a planned gift through The Art League’s Masterpiece Society, you can combine your desire to support our creative community with your overall financial, tax, and estate planning goals.

As a Masterpiece Society member, you help ensure the future of The Art League. Your gift will give this and the next generation of artists and makers the opportunity to pursue their passion for the visual arts – whatever their age or level of experience. 

Planned gifts include bequests made through testimony devices such as wills, retirement plans, life insurance plans, and revocable trusts. You can also make lifetime gifts, such as charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, and charitable lead trusts.

Explore the Impact of a Blended Gift at The Art League

A blended gift allows you to make a meaningful contribution today while planning for the future by including The Art League in your estate plans. It’s a thoughtful way to ensure your legacy lives on within our creative community, while providing immediate support for our vital relocation project. Here are a few ways it could work:

  • Direct and Deferred Gifts: Endow a $100K classroom in our new space by making a $25K direct gift now, and completing the commitment with a $75K bequest in your estate plan.

  • Multiple Gift Types: Make a $50K commitment to our relocation project with a $35K grant from your donor-advised fund (DAF) and a $15K corporate gift from your company, benefiting both personally and professionally.

  • Multi-Category Giving: Commit $250K to support our new studio build-out and provide scholarships for emerging artists, helping the next generation of creatives thrive.

These are just a few examples of how a blended gift can align with your philanthropic goals while making a lasting difference at The Art League. We’d love to work with you and your financial advisor to create a tailored opportunity that reflects your passion for the arts and desire to leave a legacy.
