Smart Ways to Make Your Impact

There are many ways to give that can also offer tax advantages. However you choose to give, your generosity directly fuels exhibitions, education, and community programs that welcome all. 

• From Your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF): Recommend a gift to Sun Valley Museum of Art (Tax ID: 23-7113276) through your DAF custodian.  

• From Your IRA (for donors 70½+): Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA — it can count toward your required minimum distribution and may reduce your taxable income. More information here   

• With Appreciated Stock: Giving stock can offer significant tax savings while supporting the arts you love.  

• Monthly Giving: Join our community of sustaining supporters with an automatic monthly donation that keeps art alive all year.
