  • In person or mail: The Duluth Art Institute, 130 West Superior Street, Suite 400, Duluth, MN 55802
  • Employer Matching Fund: Your employer may have a match program for your cash donations to a nonprofit. Choose the DAI for your match.
  • Scholarship Fund: At times, artists are unable to pay for their membership or class. When you add the “Scholarship Fund” Payment Memo to your donation, it directly helps an artist with membership or class costs.
  • Publicly-Traded Stocks: Make a gift of publicly-traded stocks to the DAI.
  • PayPal Giving: Choose the Duluth Art Institute to donate on PayPal or its partner organizations, or start a PayPal fundraiser. Available through the PayPal site or mobile app.
  • Life Insurance: Include the DAI as a life insurance beneficiary.
  • Bequests: In your will, name the DAI to receive a specific amount, percentage of your estate, or to be a contingent beneficiary or the organization to make donations on your behalf.
