In-Kind Gifts
The Colony is grateful for contributions from Colony Fellows of their books, recordings, films, slides, and other works of art, which are placed in MacDowell’s collection and made available to artists-in-residence.

Through special arrangement with the Peterborough Town Library, second copies of donated books, CDs, and videos are added to the growing collection of Fellows’ work available in the nation’s first library supported by public money.

In addition, The MacDowell Colony welcomes inquiries about gifts of equipment, furnishings, or other useful items. MacDowell must approve gifts of tangible personal property prior to acceptance. For the Colony to provide an acknowledgement for tax purposes, the donor must provide a written valuation for In-Kind Gifts valued at $250 or more.
