Going Beyond Preserving A Collection – The Private Operating Foundation
Many times, an artist or collector wishes to preserve their art collection by donating the collection to a museum or charity. Often the museum, university or other organization is unwilling or unable to integrate, preserve, store and display the entire collection along with the associated documents. Even if there is a financial gift to sufficiently endow the collection today, there is no certainty that the endowment will be able to fund the charity indefinitely into the future. If you are an artist or a collector wanting to preserve your collection, consider a Private Operating Foundation. This entity can be used not only to preserve a legacy but to define and shape the future.
