We are currently using PayPal to process donations. You can either pay using your Pay Pal account, or by credit or debit card if you don't have an account. Island Gallery and Studios is a 501(c)(3) non-profit arts organization. Donations are fully tax-deductible. We believe in the power of art to inspire, educate and bring communities together. Thanks to your generosity the gallery can continue our mission to showcase exceptional artists, provide accessible art education and foster cultural engagement. We offer several ways to give, allowing you to make a meaningful impact while supporting the arts.
1. General Donations
Your contribution helps sustain our exhibitions, educational programs and community outreach initiatives. Every donation, no matter the size, is used to provide workshops, demonstrations, collaborations with schools and free art classes at the gallery and other venues.
2. Retirement Assets
Rather than cashing out retirement assets such as IRAs, 401(k)s and 403(b)s and paying taxes, a direct contribution of retirement assets to a charity such as the gallery can be a tax-efficient strategy.
3. Memorial Gifts to Honor a Loved One or Recognize a Special Life Occasion
Any amount you choose may be given to honor a person who will be notified by letter. See more about this below.
4. Legacy Giving
Leave a lasting impact by including Island Gallery and Studios in your estate planning. Legacy gifts through wills and trusts help secure the future of our gallery and ensure that art continues to thrive for generations to come.
Your generosity keeps art alive and accessible in our community. To learn more about giving opportunities or to make a contribution, please contact us at (941) 778-6648.
