Make it a tribute

The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art is committed to deepening the appreciation and understanding of the human experience. A tribute gift is a thoughtful way to celebrate significant events, friends, and loved ones while supporting the museum’s mission.

Whether you want to celebrate a birthday, holiday, anniversary or graduation, thank someone, or honor a lost friend or loved one, tribute gifts are a meaningful way to support the museum and recognize others’ passion for the arts.  

To make a tribute gift online, select "My Gift is a Tribute" in the form options. Or call us to make a gift over the phone at: 514-346-0974

Planned Giving

Almost 80 years ago, Gertrude Bass Warner bequeathed more than 3,000 works of art to the University of Oregon and her gift inspired UO supporters to build an art museum on campus. Since that time, many others have made special arrangements for the JSMA in their estate plans, and the museum has grown into one of our region’s cultural treasures.

Estate gifts lay the foundation for the future of the JSMA. The University of Oregon's Office of Gift Planning can help you explore the myriad of planned giving options available, including:

  • Planned gifts that pay you income (charitable gift annuity, charitable remainder trust)
  • Planned gifts that the JSMA can use today (outright, charitable lead trust)
  • Planned gifts to the JSMA after your lifetime (bequest, life insurance, retirement plans, retained life estate)
