The Altenbernd Foundation is currently seeking recognition as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Until the IRS grants this recognition, we cannot guarantee that contributions are tax-deductible. If tax-exempt status is approved, the IRS may recognize it retroactively to our date of incorporation (July 16, 2026), subject to applicable requirements.

We recommend consulting your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of your contribution. We will update this page as soon as our tax-exempt status has been officially recognized.

Your generosity helps lay the foundation for a new home for contemporary art in Central Florida.

Donations directly support the Altenbernd Foundation's mission by funding exhibitions, educational programming, public engagement initiatives, collections, and the organizational infrastructure needed to build a sustainable institution. Contributions also help cover essential operating expenses, ensuring we can responsibly grow our impact and expand access to our community.

Every gift, regardless of size, plays a meaningful role in advancing our mission and bringing this vision to life.
