As a nonprofit organization, the Art Institute depends upon private funding provided by its foundation and corporate supporters. Such generosity enables the museum to meet the significant costs of running a major cultural institution that welcomes almost two million visitors each year. Your contribution helps to maintain the Art Institute's position as a cultural leader through the preservation and display of the collection and special exhibitions and through educational programs that address the needs of all visitors and members. We welcome your partnership and look forward to discussing with you the many benefits of your involvement.


Involvement
On any given day, thousands of visitors make their way through the Art Institute's galleries, encountering some of the world's finest works of art. Involvement through the Corporate and Foundation Partner Program or sponsorship of exhibitions and projects helps to welcome those visitors every day.

Support
By contributing to the Art Institute, organizations take an active role in helping the museum create quality exhibitions and innovative educational programs 363 days each year. Corporate and Foundaton partnerships establish important relationships with the museum and play a vital role in making exhibitions and public programs possible.

Community
Whether it is a group of Chicago schoolchildren encountering Chinese calligraphy, an artist sketching an Impressionist work in the galleries, or parents and children enjoying a Saturday family workshop, visitors to the Art Institute are a community of people-from Chicago and around the world-who have been enraptured by its collection. We encourage your organization to join us!
