Customize Your Partnership
The DMA Partners program is designed to offer customized opportunities for engagement with the Dallas Museum of Art. DMA Partners can support the Museum through different giving levels, ranging from $100 to $25,000. These levels were selected after careful review of current patrons’ philanthropic interests and motivations, and the resulting benefits are responsive to donor research conducted by the DMA in 2009 and 2010. In addition to retaining some of the most preferred benefits, the program adds new dimensions of access and experiences, some of which overlap with awards for especially engaged DMA Friends to encourage dialogue between the two groups.
Based on your partnership level, you receive a number of custom option benefits that you can match to your interests. Through these specialized interest groups, Partners can participate in events that are designed to increase their knowledge in the fields that spark their interest. These events will include curator-led tours, interactions with experts in the field, special viewing opportunities, family events, discussions, and workshops. Descriptions of the custom options are below.
