Many Ways To Give To The Building Fund 

Outright gifts Gifts of cash, securities or other property -- provide the New Museum with much- needed financial assistance. Outright gifts have an immediate impact on PCAM'S new building because they can be used to support a variety of current and unforeseen needs.

Gift Pledges A pledge is a formal statement of intention to make a gift to PCAM. It may be followed by an immediate gift, or it may simply confirm your intention to make a gift in the future. Many donors choose to complete their gift pledge by making regular payments over a period of time. This method often allows donors to give more generously than they may have originally considered. Whenever possible, The Museum encourages full payment of pledges within five years of the original commitment.

Gifts with Retained Interest Your gift to PCAM can allow you to hold an interest in that gift for your lifetime or for a specified term of years. After that time, the funds become available to the Museum. For example, you can set up a charitable trust which allows you to receive income from that trust for a specified period, or for life. You can donate your home to PCAM while retaining the right to live in it for life. When you make your gift, you have the satisfaction of knowing that plans you make today will help to support the Museum in the next century.

Unrestricted Gifts When you do not restrict the use of your gift, the Museum gains flexibility not otherwise available. Unrestricted gifts can be used at the discretion of the Museum Directors to meet changing or urgent needs such as library acquisitions, state-of-the-art technology and equipment or new research initiatives.
