Leaving a Legacy

A bequest is a means of leaving a 'legacy' or gift to a charitable organization of your choosing. The amount-whether it is a percentage of your estate or a set dollar amount-must be specified in writing in either your will or living trust. It is important that your property and finances are documented in accordance with state law. Your attorney or financial advisor should be able to guide you in this process.

Endowment

The Holland Area Arts Council Endowment Fund will provide the resources necessary to continue bringing art into our community for years to come. A gift to the Fund will last many lifetimes because the contributions will be perpetually invested with dividends utilized to sustain operations. If you are interested in maximising your gift in this way, contact the Arts Council for more information.

Other Opportunities to Contribute

Special Events

Each year (usually the first Saturday in June), the Arts Council holds an extravaganza to help raise critical dollars and introduce new friends to our organization. This May 30, 2009, we hosted "Monte Carlo Night" at the Macatawa Legends Golf Club for a night of food, music, art, travel and dancing.

Other events are held throughout the year to help raise funds for our programming.

We are always happy to accept items to auction at these events. For example, these are some of the items donated for the 2009 Monte Carlo Night auction.
