Community Partners

Our generous community partners have been a crucial part of our effort since the museum’s inception. And we continue to receive outstanding support from individuals, businesses, and organizations throughout the region and the Southwest.

Financial support, in-kind donations, and contributions, or western art are all great ways to support our mission.

Donations

Gifts are encouraged and accepted whenever they further the mission of the museum:

”To preserve and exhibit museum-quality Western art, and educate the public about the unique heritage, history, legends, and influence of the art of the American West.”

  • The BOT will make definitive determinations on whether gifts are accepted on a case-by-case basis.
  • Unrestricted gifts are highly encouraged.
  • Staff and the BOT will work with donors to honor their wishes (with respect to their gift) where practicable.
  • Major gifts are subject to the Phippen Windfall Policy as adopted.

Cash and financial bequests

  • No gift that accrues any current or future liability will be accepted.
  • Real property may be accepted if the BOT has reviewed and agrees to the gift.

Artwork

  • Museum quality art that furthers the mission of the museum will generally be accepted.
  • BOT will determine whether any piece will be accessioned into the permanent collection.
  • In accordance with IRS rules, gifts with a value of over $5,000 must be accompanied by a certified appraisal.

In-kind

  • In-kind gifts may be very useful in furthering the mission of the museum.
  • BOT and staff will work with donors who have intentions of making in-kind donations of services, supplies, materials, equipment, etc. on a case-by-case basis.

Planned Giving

Mato Sha Society

The museum has recently developed a planned giving program that you might be specifically interested in called the Mato Sha Society. This special group comprised of dedicated donors recognizes and honors those forward-thinking individuals who have ensured the museum’s future by making a testamentary provision or other planned gift naming the Phippen Museum as a beneficiary of $5,000 or more.
