Bequests

Bequests are managed by the Foundation and can be directed towards expanding your favourite collecting area or made without restriction, allowing the Gallery to direct funds where they are needed most. Bequests can also be made to honour the memory of family or other loved ones, with their name appearing in appropriate acknowledgements.

• invited to join the Thomas Elder Circle and attend exclusive annual Thomas Elder Circle events
• acknowledged with the corresponding level of Foundation membership
• formally acknowledged on the Donors’ Board and in the Foundation Annual Report
• acknowledged for all gifts of works of art or acquisitions made with the support of a bequest, in the caption of the work and wherever the image of that work is reproduce
