donate » planned giving & renaissance society
There is no better time than the New Year to remind our members of the giving opportunities that enable them to support the museum. Patrons may leave a lasting impact on the Flint Institute of Arts by way of an immediate gift or through estate planning. By notifying the FIA of plans to contribute via your estate, you will become part of the legacy group known as the Renaissance Society.
As a member of the Renaissance Society, you will be recognized in the Members Magazine and Annual Report. This year, the FIA will invite the Society to the first annual Director’s Toast to be held on tax day in the Members Room.
Planned gifts to the Institute include bequests through estates or wills, charitable trusts and annuities. Non-monetary assets such as real estate, works of art, life insurance and Independent Retirement Accounts are also included. These contributions will help specific areas of interest or operations of the renovated facility and enable the FIA to reach its goal in the current Endowment Campaign. With your support, the FIA will continue to flourish for years to come.

contribution
Once again Uncle Sam is offering those of you 70.5 or older a golden opportunity to contribute to the FIA and at the same time, claim absolutely no income from your IRA. The origin of this charitable giving option was enacted as part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and reintroduced in late 2010 to continue through December 31, 2011.

If you wish, you may designate a specific area to support
• Collections

• Exhibitions
• Conservation
• Endowment
• Education
Benefits
• Your gift counts towards your minimum distribution for the current tax year.
• No taxes are due on the distribution.
