Ways to support

By making a multi-year pledge, you’re investing in the future of our community and the Museum as a place of growth, learning, and connection. 

Benefits of a multi-year pledge include: 

• Stability and Reliability: Your long-term commitment provides our museum with reliable funds year over year. 
• 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.

To pledge your support today or find out more about our installment options, please contact us!

You can use a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) to distribute gifts to the Portland Art Museum.

Contact your DAF provider to recommend a gift or use the “Make a Gift From My DAF” tool to get started. We will acknowledge your generous gift as a DAF distribution.

Making a gift of securities or mutual funds offers you the chance to support the Portland Art Museum while realizing important benefits for yourself. 

By donating appreciated stock, you may:

• Claim a charitable deduction equal to the stock’s fair market value on the day you make the transfer.
• Avoid paying capital gains tax

Please instruct your broker to notify the Development Office at (503) 276-4365 of your transaction.

• Avoid taxes on transfers of up to $108,000 from your IRA to our organization
• May satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year
• Reduce your taxable income, even if you do not itemize deductions
• Make a gift that is not subject to the deduction limits on charitable gifts
• Help further the work and mission of our organization

Contact your IRA custodian to make a gift or use the “Make a Gift From My IRA” tool to get started. We will acknowledge your generous gift as a QCD, which may satisfy your required minimum distribution.

Making a matching gift through your employer can double and sometimes triple the impact of your gift! 

Corporate matching gifts are a wonderful way to maximize the impact of your donation. Many companies offer programs that allow employees to match their donations to eligible nonprofits. This means that when you donate to the Museum, your employer may contribute a matching amount.

To get started, please contact the human resources department at your organization to learn more about their matching gift program and how to submit your matching gift request.
