Gifts
to MacDowell Gifts to MacDowell are essential in helping the Colony continue its mission of the past century: to nuture the arts by offering creative individuals of the highest talent an inspiring environment in which to produce enduring works of the imagination. The MacDowell Colony depends upon public interest and generosity to provide an ideal working place for gifted artists. The MacDowell Colony gratefully accepts contributions, including donations of cash, property (such as securities and real estate), and gifts-in-kind from individuals, foundations, and corporations. Gifts may be unrestricted for the general operating support of the Colony or designated by the donor for a specific purpose, such as a studio endowment or a Fellowship. Unique naming opportunities are available for studios, rooms, special equipment, landscaping elements, and endowment funds. The MacDowell Circle was established in 2000 to recognize donors who have made generous annual gifts to the Colony. MacDowell contributors receive invitations to special MacDowell events, the Colony's Annual Report, and semiannual newsletters. The Marian MacDowell Society was established in 2002 to honor the Colony's many supporters who have chosen to remember MacDowell in their wills. Please refer to Annual Appeal, Honor and Memorial Gifts, Stock Gifts, Matching Gifts, In-kind Gifts, Events, Fellowships, Corporate Giving, and Bequests for information on these types of gifts to MacDowell. |
