The Office of Planned Giving at the Art Institute of Chicago provides support for a full range of charitable gift planning options and services. The Art Institute of Chicago, its employees or representatives do not offer legal or financial advice. We strongly urge prospective donors to consult with their attorney, financial advisor, estate-planning professional, accountant, or other appropriate professional before making any material decisions based on information we provide through this Website, printed materials, or other sources.

How Do I Start?

The Art Institute of Chicago wants you to know about some unique financial tools you can use to plan your gift so that it also returns benefits to you.

Did You Know That:

  • You don't have to use cash to make your gift — donate appreciated securities instead. The deduction is the same as for a cash gift, and you pay no capital-gains tax on the transfer.
  • You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime — name the Art Institute of Chicago as a beneficiary of your will, or revocable trust, or your retirement plan.

To find out your giving options, go to Gift Plans. Discover the variety of funding choices at Assets to Give. Compare Goals & Benefits to see which come closest to meeting your needs.

When you're ready to learn more, complete the information request form for follow-up information.
