Make a Gift

The New York Academy of Art exists because people believe that rigorous training in figurative art matters, that the skills passed from one generation of artists to the next are worth protecting, nurturing, and celebrating.
Your gift makes that possible. It supports the students who arrive here with extraordinary talent and the drive to develop it. It attracts faculty who are working artists at the highest level. It sustains the programs, the residencies, the visiting critics, and the conversations that make this place unlike any other graduate school in the country.
In a city as expensive as New York, philanthropy is not a supplement to what we do. It is what makes it possible to do it at all. Every gift, at every level, is an investment in the next generation of artists and in the tradition they carry forward.

Other ways to support the Academy
Many donors prefer the convenience and efficiency of a recurring gift—no checks to write and no stamps to buy. Your recurring gifts can be charged directly to a credit card according to your designated schedule and may be cancelled at any time. For example, if you choose to make a recurring monthly donation of $25, your next donation of $25 will be automatically charged to your credit card every month. Once a year we will send you a record of your giving history for tax purposes and give you an opportunity to update your gift amount or the way you choose to pay it. To arrange your gift, please contact the Accounting Department at 212-842-5967.
The value of your gift may be doubled if your employer has a matching gifts program. Please check your Human Resources department for details about a matching gift for the Academy.
If you have a donor-advised fund (DAF), you can direct a grant to the New York Academy of Art directly through your fund sponsor. Contact the Accounting Department at 212-842-5967 if you have questions or need our tax ID information.
You may donate appreciated stocks or even mutual funds to the New York Academy of Art. We are happy to accept stock certificates or electronic transfer of your shares. For step-by-step instructions on how to transfer your shares, please contact the Accounting Department at 212-842-5967.
Qualified retirement plans, such as IRA accounts, 401(k) and 403(b), are great assets for charitable giving, after your lifetime. If you leave these assets to family or friends, they will be highly taxed to that individual — but if you designate New York Academy of Art as the beneficiary, the assets will pass to us, tax free.
