Endowments, Bequests & Donations

By establishing an Endowment Fund, Mendocino Art Center will be assured an annual income to offset potential budget shortfalls and continue to improve its programs and facilities. As an educational institution, it isn't possible for the Art Center to generate sufficient income without charitable contributions.

By contributing to the Mendocino Art Center Endowment Fund you will have the satisfaction of knowing you helped provide the opportunities of art education you have had, for your children and the generations to come. At the same time you receive the tax advantage of donating to a non-profit 501 (C)3 educational organization.

All donations of any amount are helpful and appreciated. Click here to make an online donation.

Dorr Bothwell Scholarship Fund

In 1999 the Mendocino Art Center was honored to be the recipient of an extensive collection of serigraph prints by artist and teacher Dorr Bothwell. When Dorr passed away on September 17, 2000 at the age of 98, we lost a great artist and treasured friend, but her work will always be a part of us. Proceeds from the sale of Dorr's prints fund our Jennie Zacha-Dorr Bothwell Scholarship Fund.
