CONTRIBUTION OPPORTUNITIES

2011-2012 Annual Giving Campaign
Laumeier launched its 35th anniversary year in October by looking back to our strong leadership defining what sculpture parks are, while looking forward by creating an artistic laboratory for innovation. Our work in establishing the role of sculpture parks was recognized by USA Today where Laumeier was named one of the top ten places to see artwork that enhances nature. The 2011-2012 Annual Giving Campaign is underway and your gift will assist innovative curatorial practice, help expand educational experiences, sustain public programming and support our efforts to conserve the outdoor collection for another 35 years.

The Arts Mean Business in St. Louis. Generating more than $561 million in annual economic activity and 8,000+ jobs, your support of the Arts leads directly to a more vibrant and sustainable community. Please consider supporting Laumeier with a tax-deducatable charitable contribution.

Educational program support
Many educational programs offer significant opportunities for underwriting that helps ensure these vital programs continue to inspire area youths and reach a diverse audience. Contributions have a direct impact on the young people of greater St. Louis.

Annual appeal
Each winter Laumeier’s appeal to members and friends garners contributions to help underwrite all program expenses. These annual donations help Laumeier meet its operational needs at a crucial time.

Mark Twain Laumeier Fund
Contributions to Laumeier's endowment fund provides ongoing long-term support that sustains cultural institutions like Laumeier. Your pledge to the Mark Twain Laumeier Fund strengthens our foundation and helps assure a bright future.

Biennial fundraising events
Each year Laumeier hosts a fundraising event that supports ongoing educational and exhibition programs. The biennial gala, produced in odd-numbered years, is a more formal affair, while the Carts & Cocktails event, in even years, is a progressive dining and travel experience targeting the adventurous. Sponsorship of these events ensures both a grand experience for those who attend and essential institutional support.

Planned giving and memorials
Bequests and memorials to Laumeier sustain the institution and offer a wonderful tribute and legacy.

In-kind contributions
Generous sponsors willing to make in-kind contributions are always welcome for any of Laumeier’s events and programs.
