Major Gifts

Throughout the history of the museum, many individuals and families have made gifts of personal significance that have helped sustain the DIA. Major Gifts are those gifts above the $11,000 level, many times reaching into the hundreds of thousands, and in select cases, millions of dollars. This vital source of income supports every aspect of museum operations. Gifts at the Major Gift level demonstrate how personal wealth, and a civic-minded spirit, can "preserve the most beautiful sentiments of the humanity of the past."

For more information about making a gift, please contact Rose Giffen, Manager of Major Gifts, at rgiffen@dia.org or 313.494.5233.

Matching Gift Opportunities

Another opportunity to help substantially increase the impact of your gift is provided by participation in a matching gift program. If your company has a matching gift program, you may be able to double your gift to the DIA. We know you will take great pleasure in the fact that your contribution will be going twice as far in supporting the arts.
