Gifts of $5,000 or more are eligible to be paid in annual installments of up to 5 years. By making a multi-year pledge, you’re not just supporting a building project; you’re investing in the future of our community. 

Benefits of a multi-year pledge include: 

  • Stability and Reliability: Your long-term commitment provides our museum with the financial stability needed to complete our campus transformation. 
  • Increased Impact: By spreading your donation over multiple years, you can make a larger overall contribution than might be possible with a single gift.
  • Tax Benefits: Multi-year pledges can offer significant tax advantages, helping to maximize the impact of your donation.
