Bequests and Planned Giving

"We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give." –Winston Churchill

Many benefactors choose to support the Hilliard University Art Museum by including the Museum in their estate plans. The most common form of planned giving is a bequest made by a will or trust; however there is a wide range of planned gift opportunities, including life income and deferred gifts, which can provide financial and tax benefits to donors during their lifetime and help to shape the work of the Art Museum in perpetuity.

To inquire about bequeathing a work or works of art, you may begin by contacting our Museum Director, LouAnne Greenwald, at 337.482.1369, who will be pleased to take you through the process. You can also contact LouAnne for other planned and estate giving opportunities to benefit the University Art Museum.


Naming Opportunities

The Louisiana Vision Campaign provides you with the opportunity to mark your legacy by naming a space in the Museum. Endowing a staff position, lecture series and/or youth programming are additional opportunities to have a lasting influence on the future of the Hilliard Art Museum and the arts in Acadiana. These opportunities have funding requirements to ensure that adequate income will be available forever to achieve the donor's intent, both now and in the future. Please discuss with us your intentions and we can create an opportunity for you.


Gifts of Art

The collections of the Hilliard, comprised of approximately 2,000 objects spanning all media and millennia from the ancient to the contemporary, have been assembled since its founding in 1968 largely through the generosity of its many donors, both alumni and friends. Many donors choose to make a gift of art either during their lifetimes or by bequesting to enhance the Museum's collections and support its mission as a teaching and research institution, so that future generations might experience the power and enjoyment of great works of art.

The Hilliard Art Museum welcomes gifts of art consistent with the focus of the collections and the Museum's commitment to excellence. To inquire about making a gift of art, you may begin by consulting the museum director who will be pleased to speak with you. Call LouAnne Greenwald at 337.482.1369.
