A planned gift to the MAH is the perfect way to perpetuate your love of art and history and establish a legacy. Planned giving includes any major gift that involves financial or estate planning such as bequests or gifts of securities, retirement assets, life income plans, real estate, or personal property.
There are a number of ways for businesses to get involved with the MAH, including sponsorship, corporate membership, entertaining opportunities, and matching gifts, all of which provide partners a range of benefits and access to the museum.
The MAH benefits enormously from in-kind gifts that provide non-cash support for a wide variety of needs. A member of the development team will be happy to assist you in coordinating your in-kind contribution.
Volunteers at the MAH perform a variety of duties, from answering guest questions to assisting behind the scenes in our offices. Volunteer positions fall into four general categories: administrative support, onsite event and exhibition help, tour assistance, and gardening and grounds maintenance.
