The Bechtler offers generous supporters various ways to make financial contributions beyond membership. Tax-deductible donations will help assure diverse educational programs, preserve and interpret the collection and provide an increasingly strong future for this new cultural institution.

ANNUAL FUND

A gift to the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art’s Annual Fund furthers the museum’s mission, supports the exhibition of world-class works of art and builds programs that benefit the cultural community of Charlotte-Mecklenburg.

All donations to the Annual Fund, no matter the amount, are welcome and make an important difference in the operation of the Bechtler and the conservation of its collection. Each contribution is tax deductible.

Please consider making a gift.

Online donation capabilities will be available at a later date. To make a donation to the annual fund, contact Patty Stevens at 704.353.9205 or patty.stevens@bechtler.org.

SPECIAL GIFTS

Memorial/Tribute gifts allow you to honor someone special or express your sympathy by making a gift to the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art in their name. When you make a tribute or memorial Gift, the Bechtler will send a note to the individual being honored—or to the family of those memorialized—informing them of the gift and the identity of the donor. The amount of the gift is kept confidential. A memorial gift is 100% tax deductible. To make a memorial or tribute gift, contact Patty Stevens at 704.353.9205 or patty.stevens@bechtler.org.

Membership gifts are a creative way to support an interest in the visual arts and introduce the Bechtler to friends and family. To purchase a gift membership, contact Patty Stevens at 704.353.9205 or patty.stevens@bechtler.org.

SPECIAL FUNDS

As a new institution, the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art will rely on a variety of donor support. During its first year, the museum will create special funds to benefit a variety of focus areas such as programming, education, curatorial projects, conservation and exhibitions.

Donors will have the opportunity to support these specific areas of the museum with contributions that will be used solely for the designated purpose of the fund. More information on these funds will be available in the near future.
