    Disclaimer

    The Art Museum encourages donors to seek professional advice from their trusted accountant or tax preparer prior to making gifts of appreciated securities.

    Many companies will match charitable contributions made by employees, doubling or even tripling the impact of your gift. If your company has a matching gift program, your contribution to GRAM can be generously increased and will do even more to support the Museum’s mission.

    Matching your gift is simple:

    Contact your company’s Personnel, Human Resources, or Community Relations department to see if they have a matching gift program. If they do, complete the steps provided by your employer either online or by mail. If not completed online, please return your form to:

    Grand Rapids Art Museum
    Attn: Advancement Office
    101 Monroe Center
    Grand Rapids, MI 49503

    Or contact us by email at donate@artmuseumgr.org.
