Your Support Makes an Impact

CLMA would not exist without the generous support of our community. As an independent nonprofit organization, we have to raise every dollar we spend. 

Your generous donations to CLMA are a testament to the importance of art in our community. We believe CLMA plays a unique and vital role by honoring our cultural legacies, cultivating and celebrating contemporary artists, and inspiring our youth through Project ARTstART.

Other Ways to Give

Matching Gifts

Many employers offer a matching gift program, which will double or triple the impact of your donation to CLMA. Contact your Human Resources department to inquire. If they offer a matching gift program, they will provide you with an online or paper form to complete.

Donate Through IRA Distributions

Did you know that you can make charitable gifts from your required minimum distribution? Contact your financial advisor to make tax-efficient donations directly from your IRA. Of course, you must be age 73.

Fundraising Milestones

  • Received an extraordinarily generous gift of $1,000,000 from the Randall Lewis Family Trust in 2022, the bulk of which was used to establish an endowment. This was a remarkable investment in the arts in this community and in the Museum’s future. The Board of Directors of CLMA is incredibly grateful to Randall Lewis.
  • Renovated all three rooms in the historic Depot into new galleries that more than double our exhibition space. Thanks to the generosity of the Calaycay family, Gallery 3, was dedicated in honor and memory of Dr. Ligorio A. Calaycay.
  • Raised a total of $65,000 to name the Depot Atrium in honor of our late, former CLMA President and former Mayor of Claremont, Sandy Baldonado, who, with the support of the Claremont City Council, secured the historic Claremont Depot as the new venue for CLMA in 2015.
  • Raised $75,000 to name Gallery 1 in honor of CLMA’s founding President, Marguerite McIntosh.
  • Raised $50,000 to name Gallery 2 in honor of well-known California watercolorists and one of Claremont’s premier Legacy Artists, Phil Dike.
