Make a contribution to Ryman Arts to wherever it is needed most. This year, Ryman Arts needs your help in continuing to provide high-quality arts education and college and career guidance to young artists from 5 counties and over 170 zip codes in Southern California. Thank you for joining us in this important work.

You can change a young life by underwriting all the costs for a student’s education at Ryman Arts for a full semester, including outstanding studio instruction, professional quality art supplies, college and career guidance, and field trips.

You can support Ryman Arts in a variety of ways that will benefit the students we serve today or in the future. With thoughtful estate and retirement planning, friends of Ryman Arts can minimize estate and income taxes, while making a charitable gift to Ryman Arts. All gifts are tax deductible to the extent allowable and may offer substantial tax savings. We encourage you to speak with your attorney or financial advisor about your options.

Bequests

One form of planned gift is a bequest. A bequest is a gift passed down through a will or living trust. It entitles you to an estate tax deduction equal to the amount of the gift, thus reducing your taxable estate and federal tax liability. A will provision allows donors to make a substantial contribution without diminishing the assets available to them during their lifetime.

The Herbert D. Ryman Legacy Society recognizes those generous benefactors who have indicated their intention to include Ryman Arts in their estate plans and allows us to show our appreciation for your generosity during your lifetime.

We would be happy to work with you and your financial advisor to explore the mutual benefits of a bequest or other type of planned gift. Please contact Diane Brigham at dbrigham@ryman.org or call (213) 629-2787 for more information.

Use the “In memory of” box at checkout to tell us in whose memory you are making this gift, and provide contact information for whom you would like us to send a note announcing this thoughtful gift.

Provide an Art Bin brimming with art supplies to a student starting out at Ryman Arts. Most of our young artists have never had access to their own, professional quality supplies. When you donate an Art Bin, your name (or anyone you designate) is honored with a “Donated By ____” label right on the Art Bin.

Invest in the future of Ryman Arts and keep it free for the next generation! Endowment gifts strengthen the sustainability of Ryman Arts.

Use the “In honor of” box at checkout to tell us in whose honor you are making this gift, and provide contact information for whom you would like us to send a note announcing this thoughtful gift.

This award celebrates the life of the late Disney Imagineer and artist Hani El-Masri by recognizing at least one outstanding Ryman Arts student each year who represents the diverse talents in our community, and who is, like Mr. El-Masri was, an immigrant to the United States. The award covers the cost of the student’s participation in Ryman Arts and a stipend towards college expenses. Learn More [PDF].
