How to Give

By joining this group, you center your giving to foster connections between emerging artists and art patrons, ensuring the ongoing impact of art on neighbors, communities, and the city.

Arrange for monthly billing through your credit card or bank account for a budget-friendly option that helps maximize your gift.

When you make a monthly or quarterly recurring gift, you are part of Centered. Members of Centered receive the following annual benefits in appreciation for their support: 

• Two free drinks at a First Friday of your choice 

• Invitation to an Art of Networking event with other members of Centered

• Recognition in the Harrison Center during First Friday events

• Knowledge that your gift is sustaining Harrison Center year-round

To make a gift through your Donor-Advised Fund, use the Harrison Center’s EIN 01-0798626, and ensure that checks are made payable to Harrison Center for the Arts dba Harrison Center.

When you make a planned gift to Harrison Center, you are choosing to further your support for the arts and emerging artists, as well as the power of art to shape communities, neighborhoods, and the city. You can make a planned gift, such as a contribution in a will, through a life or insurance policy, or other arrangements. Whatever your goals, the Harrison Center can help you shape your legacy gift. 

The Harrison Center partners with FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney. You can also use FreeWill to plan the beneficiaries of non-probate assets such as an IRA, 401(k), or life insurance policy. Use this online tool to make your plans and designate us as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets. 

Have you already included a gift in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity.

When you give stock, you can typically deduct the full fair market value of the gift if you itemize your deductions on your tax return. Donating securities like stocks, bonds, or mutual funds does not count as a sale, so you won't incur any capital gains tax. When Harrison Center sells the securities—which occurs immediately upon receipt through our broker—100% of the proceeds come to us as a nonprofit organization. To make your gift, simply transfer the stock to us instead of selling it.

Instruct your IRA custodian to distribute the money directly to the Harrison Center.

The distribution, up to $100,000, is excluded from your income for federal tax purposes—no tax is due on it, and it reduces your overall taxable income.

A qualified charitable distribution from an IRA counts toward a donor's RMD if one is due.
