Institutional Giving
About
The MCA engages Chicago’s corporate and nonprofit community through memberships and sponsorship of the museum’s exhibitions and programs. These gifts fund projects that fulfill the MCA’s mission to be an innovative and compelling center of contemporary art where the public can directly experience the work and ideas of living artists, and understand the historical, social, and cultural context of the art of our time.
