Annual Fund

Your Support Makes All the Difference
At the Johnson Museum, we bring the world to Ithaca through art for teaching, learning, and inspiration. When you make a gift to our annual fund, you are contributing to the critical unrestricted support that enables us to fulfill our highest mission-driven priorities across all areas of our work. With your help, we can continue to create meaningful experiences with art for all those who enter through our doors.
Whether this is your first gift to the Museum, or you’ve been supporting our mission for decades, we are grateful for all that you make possible for Cornell students, visitors from near and far, and our local community.
