    Long Distance Friends Is Fundraising in the United States the Right Move? - A Five-Point Checklist By Gisela Keller Translation of a German article that appeared in Stiftung und Sponsoring in October 2006 The candles on the elegant Park Avenue dinner table cast a soft glow on the influential guests engaged in conversation as Ortrud Westheider, the Art Director of the Hamburg-based Bucerius Kunst Forum, hosts a recent “Friendraising Dinner” in New York. She seeks to raise visibility and financial support from individuals, collectors, foundations and companies for her American Art from 1800 – 1950 project. Three years ago when the Museum embarked on finding U.S. donors for their exhibition trilogy that will open in Hamburg, Vienna und Zurich starting in 2008 the term “Friendraising Dinner” was pretty novel. That’s different today. In light of diminishing state support overseas for arts, culture, science and education the strong U.S. culture of philanthropy increasingly attracts international nonprofit leaders’ attention. “When talking with German clients I notice that interest in international fundraising is rising. Yet, nonprofit management tends to be oblivious to the fact that it is relatively simple to create the technical and legal framework that will allow them to qualify for US donations - and to attain tax exemption for U.S. donations,” comments Steffen Lang, Relationship Manager at Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management in New York. Tax exemption is a prerequisite for fundraising in the United States. International organizations have a couple of options: It can be advisable to set up a Donor-Advised Fund via an organization such as the King Baudouin Foundation United States or Charities Aid.

  • A Guide for Holders of the International Association of Art Card Prepared with Contributions from the Slovak Union of Visual Arts (Slovenská Výtvarná Únia) 2017
    A guide for holders of the International Association of Art card Prepared with contributions from the Slovak Union of Visual Arts (Slovenská výtvarná únia) 2017 The International Association of Art (IAA/AIAP) is a non-governmental organization working in official partnership with UNESCO. Its objectives are to stimulate international cooperation among visual artists of all countries, nations or peoples, to improve the socio-economic position of artists nationally and internationally, and to defend their material and moral rights. The IAA issues identity cards to professional visual artists. This card allows free or discounted admission to many galleries and museums in countries around the world. The card is a tool for the lifelong education of artists in their professional artistic research. These institutions, large or small, recognize the benefit they gain from enabling the artists, like art critics and journalists, to visit exhibitions, art events and collections of art, to carry on research, and to gain inspiration. As a member within the IAA network, CARFAC National issues IAA cards exclusively to Canadian professional artists that are members of CARFAC upon request. Only National Committees of the IAA may issue the card. Where to use the IAA card This document includes a chart detailing selected institutions that offer free or discounted admission prices, or other perks to IAA card holders while travelling abroad. This information was obtained from surveying recent users of the card and IAA National Committees worldwide, and is updated regularly – most recently in 2017 by the Slovak Union of Visual Arts (SUVA). Users will find that different areas in Europe are more receptive to the card than others.
