Double or even triple the impact of your donation to The Phillips Collection by participating in your employer's matching gift program.

Many employers will match your charitable contribution to the Phillips with an equal or higher amount if you or your spouse are an employee, retiree, or board member of a company. The Phillips Collection is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, an important qualification for many companies' matching gifts programs.

Check with your company to see if they have a matching gifts program and to request a matching gift form from your employer. Send the completed and signed form with your gift and we will do the rest!

You can claim a charitable deduction for the full market value of the securities on the date the gift is made. Gifts of securities are not subject to the capital gains tax.

On December 18, 2015, President Obama signed the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015. This act allows IRA owners aged 70 1/2 and older to make tax free distributions of up to $100,000 directly to a qualified charity free of federal income tax.

The IRA rollover gift is a great way for people who qualify to support the causes they care about. IRA rollover gifts can make a significant difference, and The Phillips Collection welcomes such gifts to support our award-winning educational programs and acclaimed exhibitions.

Qualifying transfers must meet the following:

• Transfers up to $100,000 directly from an IRA. This opportunity applies only to IRAs and not other types of retirement plans.
• Only traditional, rollover, and Roth IRAs (the latter must have been open for at least five years and meet other conditions) can be the source of such transfers.
• Funds transfer outright to one or more qualified charities. The legislation does not permit direct transfers to charitable trusts, donor advised funds, charitable gift annuities, or supporting organizations.

For gifts to be counted toward the required minimum distribution (RMD), distributions must be made by December 31 of a given tax year to be included in that tax year.
