Make a Lasting Impact Through Your 401(k)

Your retirement savings can help create a brighter future for the arts and humanities in our community.

Did you know you may be able to support Artworks through your 401(k) retirement plan? Whether you're planning for retirement or already enjoying it, your retirement assets may offer an opportunity to make a meaningful charitable gift that supports creativity, connection, and lifelong learning in our community.

How to Make a Gift

Depending on your retirement plan and circumstances, you may be able to designate Artworks as a beneficiary of your 401(k) or explore other options for making a charitable contribution from your retirement assets.

Name Artworks as a beneficiary. Contact your plan administrator to request a beneficiary designation form and name Artworks as a full or partial beneficiary of your 401(k).

Explore a charitable distribution. If you are retired or considering a rollover or distribution, speak with your plan administrator or financial advisor about whether your plan permits a charitable gift and what options may be available.

Consult your financial advisor. Retirement accounts have specific tax rules, and the benefits of a charitable gift depend on your individual circumstances. A qualified financial or tax professional can help you determine the best approach.

Your Legacy, Season After Season

A gift through your retirement plan can help sustain Artworks and ensure that future generations have opportunities to experience the transformative power of the arts and humanities. Your generosity can support exhibitions, children's programming, scholarships, community outreach, building enhancements, and Artworks' enduring legacy.

Please note: A beneficiary designation is generally different from making a direct charitable donation from a 401(k). Direct gifts from retirement accounts may be subject to plan restrictions and tax rules. If you are age 70½ or older and interested in making a tax-advantaged gift from retirement savings, you may also wish to explore a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from an eligible IRA. QCDs generally cannot be made directly from a 401(k).
