Ways to Give
Thank you for considering a gift to Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art! BMoCA serves over 220,000 people through thought-provoking exhibitions and creative art education programs each year. Every dollar raised supports these initiatives and our mission to inspire creativity and foster community through contemporary art!
There are many ways you can make a difference beyond a traditional cash donation. Please see more information about tax-wise giving options below.
Donor Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund (DAF) allows individuals to make charitable contributions and receive an immediate tax deduction. The funds are managed by a DAF custodian, and the donor can recommend grants to their preferred nonprofit organizations. Donors can contribute to the fund over time and recommend grants to charities at their discretion, providing flexibility in their giving strategy.
Log in to your donor-advised fund account or contact your fund administrator to submit a grant request to support BMoCA. Currently, donors can recommend grants to BMoCA through their local Community Foundation, Fidelity® Charitable, Schwab® Charitable, and BNY Mellon. More DAF program sponsors may be added in the future, so please check back if your fund isn’t currently listed.
Stocks, securities and mutual funds
Many people choose to give stocks, securities, or mutual funds instead of gifts of cash. Giving appreciated assets like these help you avoid paying capital gains taxes and can give you an income tax deduction for the full value of the gift (if you've had the assets for more than one year) and eliminate estate and inheritance tax, making the most impact with your gift.
Once the assets are transferred, you will receive a dated acknowledgement letter detailing the type and quantity of stock received. The assets will then be sold and the funds will be put to work directly supporting BMoCA’s innovative exhibitions and art education programs. Please see our Raymond James Brokerage information below.
Qualified Charitable Distributions
from your IRA (QCDs)
A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a tax-efficient way for individuals who are required to make a minimum distribution to make gifts directly from their Individual Retirement Account (IRA). QCDs can count towards satisfying an individual’s Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the year, which is the minimum amount that an individual must withdraw from their IRA each year once they reach age 73.
If you have a traditional IRA, you can instruct an IRA custodian to distribute up to $100,000 directly to one or more eligible charities. The QCD is not included in your taxable income, which can reduce your overall tax liability.
