There are many ways for individuals, foundations, and corporations to support Memphis Brooks Museum of Art. In return, the museum thanks members and sponsors with special privileges, discounts, and naming opportunities.
With less than 12% of its budget provided by government funding, Memphis Brooks Museum of Art relies on the generosity of friends and supporters to meet operating costs and other expenses.
The Brooks Endowment was created in 1989 to provide a permanent source of income for the operating needs of the museum.
Patron gifts play a pivotal role in the expansion of the Brooks’ collection. Gifts of art to the Brooks not only increase the quantity but also the quality of the permanent collection.
Honoring a loved one through memorials/honorariums to the Brooks can be a wonderful way to pay tribute while helping us continue to enrich lives.
With a planned gift to Memphis’ art museum, you can achieve your financial goals while elevating the arts, enriching the community and advancing education. If you have been a passionate advocate for the arts, a planned gift allows you to continue championing your values and interests, leaving a lasting legacy in the Memphis community.
Sponsorships help the Brooks meet its mission of enriching lives while engaging your organization in the cultural life of our community. Sponsorships of Brooks exhibitions, programs, artworks, and other opportunities are available to businesses, community groups, and individuals.
