Ways to Give
-
Cash Donation
Thousands of audiences engage annually with our exhibitions and programs representing a mosaic of artist and curator voices and perspectives. When you donate today, you subsidize the extremely necessary work and resources to ensure these experiences remain free and accessible to our community.
-
In Kind Support
We welcome in kind contributions in support of our exhibitions, programming, and events. To learn more about how you can give to in kind to CoCA, please contact our Team at info@cocaseattle.org.
-
Employee Giving.
CoCA is proud to participate every year in King County Employee Giving Program (KCEGP). King County government employees can learn more about how to give to CoCA through their employee giving program by visiting this link.
-
Matching Gifts.
The simplest way to double or possibly triple your gift is to ask if your employer will match your charitable donation to CoCA. Many generous employers do including but not limited to Boeing, Microsoft, Alaska Airlines, Apple Inc., Puget Sound Energy, Costco, and Bank of America.
-
Gift of Stock
Gifts of stock are a smart and simple way to maximize the effectiveness of your charitable giving. If stocks you've held for more than a year have increased in value, you may want to consider using these assets—rather than cash—to fund your giving. By transferring ownership of your long-term stock to Bellevue Arts Museum, you make a gift to support our programs and exhibitions and might be able to claim a charitable income tax deduction for the current fair market value of the asset.
-
IRA Charitable Rollover.
Individual Retirement Account (IRA) owners age 70 1/2 or older may donate all or a portion of their IRA—up to $100,000 annually—and possibly avoid income taxes that would ordinarily incur with normal distribution. This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD for short.
To make an IRA charitable rollover, ask your IRA administrator about making a direct transfer to Center on Contemporary Art or have the administrator send a check from your account.
-
Planned Giving.
Make a lasting investment in the future of Center on Contemporary Art with a legacy gift. Your planned gift will sustain CoCA in offering compelling exhibitions and programs, which engage individuals of all ages in the exploration of art, craft, and design and introduce them to the work of contemporary artists defining the field.
Leaving a bequest to CoCA can be as easy as listing Center on Contemporary Art as the beneficiary on a life insurance policy form or adding it in a will or a codicil to an already prepared will or trust.
Center on Contemporary Art can be designated as a beneficiary by simply adding the information on any of the following assets:
Life insurance
401(k) or 403(b) employer retirement plans
Individual retirement accounts
Commercial annuities
Checking and savings accounts
Brokerage accounts
Federal Tax ID #: 91-1222655
Thank you in advance for considering including the CoCA as part of your legacy.

-
Donor Advised Fund.
A donor advised fund (or DAF) is a type of charitable investment account that provides an immediate tax benefit to you and allows you to recommend grants to charities of your choice over time. Granting to Center on Contemporary Art through your DAF is easy. You can recommend a gift to CoCA today or on a recurring basis (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually) to help fuel the creative spirit of our community.
To support CoCA through your DAF, please direct your DAF sponsoring organization to make checks payable to Center on Contemporary Art and mail to:
