More Ways to Give

If you are looking to make an immediate impact to the museum, consider donating to the Museum of Art Friend’s Fund. This fund supports student salaries for the museum’s student visitor ambassadors, as well as museum operations. For online donations or a check, include in the comments or memo line “Current-use spendable account.”

You can support meaningful, supportive, and challenging educational opportunities for students through the Kenneth D. and Nancy A. Spitzer Student Experience Endowment. This fund supports employment and internship opportunities within the museum, giving students the chance to work alongside professionals, gain valuable skills, and build their resumes. Students get hands-on opportunities to assist in the curation of exhibitions, work with our collections, and engage with the public, enhancing their educational journey.

For over a decade the museum has provided transportation reimbursement funding for nearly 300 K-12 grade schools in the Inland Northwest. The Buy-A-Bus program has been revitalized in 2023 after a 3-year hiatus during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Please consider supporting the Buy-A-Bus program to bring the arts back to students across the Inland Northwest.

The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at WSU accepts in kind gifts, including gifts of art. As an institution, we are committed to the collection and preservation of artworks which align with our mission and collection policies. Please contact us about gifts in kind.

The museum has existing endowments for education, collections, curation & exhibitions, and operations. Contributions to the Museum Friends Fund supports our operations endowment. If you would like to contribute to a different endowment, please contact us.
