SUPPORT THE MUSEUM
As southeastern Idaho’s only art museum, The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho is a vital community resource. It is also a nonprofit entity. This
means that the Museum relies on the support of friends like you to allow us to
continue providing stellar exhibitions and educational outreach programs to the region. Your contributions to the Art Museum may make you
eligible for favorable tax benefits that greatly reduce the
actual cost of your donation. This is especially true if you
qualify for the Idaho Education Tax Credit.

The Donor Bill
of Rights
Philanthropy is based on
voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and
sharing that is primary to the quality of life. To ensure that
philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, and
that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the
nonprofit organizations and causes they are asked to support, we declare
that all donors have these rights:
I. To be informed of the
organization's mission, of the way the organization intends to use
donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for
their intended purposes.
II. To be informed of the
identity of those serving on the organization's governing board, and to
expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship
responsibilities.
III. To have access to
the organization's most recent financial statements.
IV. To be assured their
gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
V. To receive appropriate
acknowledgement and recognition.
VI. To be assured that
information about their donation is handled with respect and with
confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
VII. To expect that all
relationships with individuals representing organizations of interest to
the donor will be professional in nature.
VIII. To be informed
whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the
organization or hired solicitors.
IX. To have the
opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing lists that an
organization may intend to share.
X. To feel free to ask
questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful and
forthright answers.
The
Donor Bill of Rights was created by the American Association of Fund
Raising Counsel (AAFRC), Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP),
the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), and the Council for
Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). It has been endorsed by
numerous organizations.
