The Mint Museums
are fortunate to be a funded cultural affiliate of
the Arts & Science Council of Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Inc. However, Arts & Science Council dollars comprise
only a portion of the museum’s annual operating
income. Donations of cash, artwork and other gifts
are key to the Mint’s continued success in fostering
and presenting artistic creativity in our community
and beyond. Below are the various ways in which foundations,
corporations, governmental entities and individuals
support the museums’ many exciting exhibitions
and educational offerings.

Donating Cash
Individuals can support the museum by becoming
members and by making general gifts, both of which
provide important unrestricted funds for a wide variety
of exhibitions and education programs. General
gifts can also be designated for particular programs
of the donor’s choice. To make a general
gift, contact the Membership Department at giving@themintmuseums.org or

Planned
Giving Opportunities
Planned gifts are an effective, thoughtful way
to support the museum for years to come. Many
planned gifts allow donors to enjoy special tax
considerations while providing for the Mint’s
future. The Dwelle Society was established in
1995 by the Board of Trustees to recognize generous
friends who have included the Mint in their estate
plans. Members of the Dwelle Society share the
vision and commitment of Mary Myers Dwelle, one
of the museum’s founders.
For more information about planned giving and
membership in the Dwelle Society, please contact
the Development Department at dwelle@themintmuseums.org or
704-337-2012.
