Donating stock: consider the tax advantages of a gift of appreciated stock; you receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock on the date of transfer to the Museum; and you pay no capital gains tax.

The IRA Charitable Rollover (aka Qualified Charitable Distribution “QCD”) remains in effect for those age 70½ and older and it may be a wonderful opportunity for you to make a high impact gift. You can make direct transfers of up to $105,000 per year from individual retirement accounts to qualified charities without having to count the transfers as income for federal tax purposes. Gifts do not qualify for a charitable deduction but may be counted toward an individual’s required minimum distribution (RMD).

To begin this process, please contact Sam Quigley.

Gifts such as a Charitable Remainder Trust produce income for you during your life and become a legacy gift for the Lyman Allyn.

To begin this process, please contact Sam Quigley.

The permanent collection of the Lyman Allyn continues to grow through the generosity of individuals and organizations who donate works of art from their own collections. Donors also provide funding to purchase works for the permanent collection. The continued growth of the Museum’s holdings depends entirely on private support.

The Museum determines if an art gift will be accepted based upon the Lyman Allyn’s Collection Plan. If a work fits into the Museum’s collecting needs, the work can be accessioned following approval from the Board of Trustees.

To begin this process, please contact Sam Quigley.
