These donors were visionaries who wished to share art with the public by placing their treasured collections in the care of the MFA. Since then, generous donors have contributed to the Museum’s growing collection, including <a href="/give/gifts-of-art/featured-gifts-of-art">transformative gifts</a> in recent years.</p> <p>This tradition of generosity continues with you. Gifts of art and funds for the purchase of art allow the Museum to continue to build and enhance a world-renowned collection—enriching our understanding of the past and revealing the unfolding story of the present. Donating art or funds to purchase art makes you eligible for recognition in the <a href="/give/gifts-of-art/denman-waldo-ross-society">Denman Waldo Ross Society</a>.</p> <h2>Making a Gift of Art</h2> <p>Are you interested in offering a gift of art to the MFA? Are you creating estate plans and considering the future of your collection? To learn more, see <a href="/give/gifts-of-art/how-to-give-art">How to Give Art</a> or e-mail <a href="mailto:goa@mfa.org">goa@mfa.org</a>.</p> <p>The MFA serves its community in Boston and audiences around the world with the support of thoughtful and generous donors. Thank you for considering a gift to the Museum.</p> <p>Kelly Hays<br> Director, Gifts of Art</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-paragraphs field--type-entity-reference-revisions
