You can direct your gift to support specific areas of the Museum through the Museum's various endowment funds, or you can set up your own named fund.
Endowment
Joslyn Art Museum Foundation has undertaken an ambitious plan to significantly increase its endowment through cash and estate gifts. A larger endowment will lessen the Museum's dependency on annual fundraising, increase funds available for art acquisition, sustain a conservation and building maintenance program, and support educational programming and scholarly research. Increasing the endowment provides more income for core budget areas and greater financial stability and growth, allowing Joslyn to implement its long-range strategic plan.
Every year Joslyn receives gifts to the endowment of all amounts from donors who wish to help secure the Museum's financial future and ensure the permanency of programs and collections that serve, enrich and engage visitors.
