Many options exist for planned gifts to the museum. For donors who wish to include Mia in their estate plans, the museum is pleased to accept contributions in the form of bequests, life income gifts such as charitable remainder trusts and charitable gift annuities, as well as life insurance, real estate and closely held stock (on a case-by-case basis), and works of art.

New Century Society

Donors are welcomed into the New Century Society in recognition of estate commitments. Support from our New Century Society members keeps our outstanding programs thriving and world-class treasures on view in our galleries for generations to come.

Join Mia’s New Century Society by completing the Confidential Letter of Intent. The museum thanks our New Century Society members as some of its most dedicated friends!

Gifts of Art

By giving a work of art, it ensures that a cherished work will be in the best possible care and enjoyed by the public. Works of art may be donated during your lifetime or by bequest. Donating artwork, a form of tangible personal property, requires special attention. Although a work may be artistically significant, it may not be appropriate for the museum’s Collection Plan.

If you are considering donating a work of art to Mia, you should first contact the curator of the appropriate curatorial department.
