Ways to Give

Donations

The High Impact Fund supports nearly every aspect of the museum. Dancing and listening to live music on the Piazza, working on a smARTbox activity, gaining new perspectives from an inspiring (or challenging) work of art—it is all possible because you support our efforts!

Please make your 100% tax-deductible contribution today! Donate online here.

For more information or to give by phone, please contact Member Services at membership@high.org or 404-733-4575 (Monday–Friday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.).

Gifts of Stock
Giving appreciated securities, such as stocks and mutual funds, is an excellent way to support the High. Such gifts are simple and may provide a greater tax benefit than an equivalent gift in cash. Download instructions for transferring gifts of securities. For more information, please contact Caroline Maddox, Deputy Director of Philanthropy, at caroline.maddox@high.org.

Matching Gifts
Many companies match their employees’ charitable contributions! Requesting a matching gift or volunteer grant from your employer normally requires filling out a brief form and takes only a few minutes. Learn more about increasing your impact at the High by visiting our Double the Donation page or by calling 404-733-4575.

A bequest is one of the simplest and most popular ways to make a gift and a great way to help the High Museum of Art. By including the Museum in your will, you can help ensure the quality of the Museum’s collections and programs for generations to come. Whether you wish to provide general operating income for the Museum or to support a specific department or program, your bequest expresses your lasting commitment to the High.

A bequest to the Museum may also help you meet your financial and estate planning goals because it is eligible for an estate tax charitable deduction equal to the entire amount of the bequest.

For more information about making a bequest to the High, please contact Caroline Maddox, Deputy Director of Philanthropy, at caroline.maddox@high.org.

You may donate artworks to the High Museum of Art during your lifetime or by bequest. Donating artwork, a form of tangible personal property, requires special attention at the High Museum. Although a work may be artistically significant, it may not be appropriate for the Museum’s collection. If you are considering donating a work of art to the Museum, you should first contact the curator of the appropriate department:

Your inquiry is confidential and places you under no obligation. We look forward to hearing from you!

The High Museum of Art is the perfect place to explore, create, and discover while learning about art.
