GIVE MONTHLY AND BE A FRIEND OF ARTY!
Monthly donations are an easy and affordable way to help the Museum of the Dog celebrate the role of dogs in society and art.

FLEXIBLE GIVING
DONOR ADVISED FUNDS (DAFS)
A donor-advised fund (DAF) acts like a philanthropic savings account. It is a type of giving program that allows you to combine the tax benefits with the flexibility to recommend the amount and the frequency of gits to our favorite charities such as the AKC Museum of the Dog. To learn more, please email us for more information!
Out of courtesy to our neighbors, only service dogs and invited demonstration dogs are allowed in the museum.
