DONATE

As a 501(c)3 organization, we rely on individual donations, corporate sponsorships and community involvement to keep our programs free and open to the public. Your tax-deductible donation will support our mission of providing free high-caliber art and music education to under-served middle and high school students, and offering free exhibition space and studios to under-represented local artists.

To participate in workplace giving, please contact your Human Resources Department or contact us for more information.

In Honor Of | Tribute Gifts
Tribute gifts are a meaningful way to honor the life or memory of a treasured family member or friend. Making a contribution in celebration of a special event or occasion is another way to create a lasting impact. Please visit our donate page to select your gift.

By donating stock, you can avoid capital gains tax and deduct 100% of the value of the contribution. Our partners at DonateStock have made it fast, safe, and free for you to make a charitable stock gift to us in 10 minutes or less. Click here to get started.

IRA Disbursements/QCDs
Considering an IRA disbursement or Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)? These must be made directly from your IRA custodian and sent to The Norwalk Art Space on your behalf. Each financial institution has its process for initiating a qualified charitable distribution, and account holders can sometimes find it challenging to access the correct information. Many retirement plan administrators require you to use their distribution forms and comply with other requirements, so follow your financial institution’s forms and procedures to ensure you receive any potential tax benefits associated with your gift.
