MUSEUM SUPPORT Bring the Arts to Life Your support of South Carolina’s premier international art institution provides the funding necessary to help us achieve our mission to inspire, educate and enrich the lives of South Carolinians through art. What is the Annual Fund? The Annual Fund supports the Museum in its areas of greatest need. It fuels our mission by helping preserve, study and exhibit our remarkable art collection. It also funds our efforts to give back to the community through dynamic educational programs that bring the arts to life. Why give to the Annual Fund? A gift to the Annual Fund is a charitable investment in the Columbia Museum of Art and the vital role the Museum plays in the cultural life of our community. We are often asked exactly how a donation helps – what activities does it support? The answer is everything. From art handling to gallery installation, from education to conservation, your gift to the Annual Fund supports all of these indispensable facets of museum life. Consider all the wonderful ways in which the Columbia Museum of Art enhances your life and the life of our community, and make a 100% tax deductible gift to the Annual Fund today. Through the generosity of patrons like you, the Museum can continue to create a richer, more exciting cultural life for all South Carolinians.
