Director’s Circle

The Director’s Circle is a leadership giving level which provides support to further the Center’s priorities of access, investment, and engagement.

Circle members support the Director’s initiatives, providing the resources the Director needs to respond quickly to unique opportunities that support the core priorities of the Center for Creative Photography. All unrestricted gifts of $3,000 or more annually qualify for membership in the Director’s Circle.

Director’s Circle members enjoy all Patron Level benefits, plus:

• Private tours of exhibitions with Director and/or Chief Curator prior to exhibition opening
• Director’s Circle only trips
• Annual Directors circle only receptions with visiting artists and scholars
• Director’s Circle Limited Edition Benefit Portfolio Print ($400 value, not tax deductible)
• Annual private behind the scenes tour of collections, archive and conservation
• $2,480 is tax deductible
• If you join the Director’s Circle with a gift of $3,000 or more through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA, IRS regulations require that no goods, services, or membership benefits  – including the annual limited edition Director’s Circle print – be provided in exchange for the gift. However, you will still receive recognition as a member of the Director’s Circle and acknowledgment consistent with University policies.
