Supporting The Arts Has Never Been Easier!

Share your love of the ARTS with future generations... Turning regular household & clothing items into a Legacy

SIMPLIFY THINGS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY:

Often an over-looked asset, tangible personal property such as works of art, antiques, books, jewelry, furniture, miscellaneous household items, clothing and coin collections can be donated and turned into cash, impacting the lives of many. You can make this type of gift to The Exchange directly, or through your estate. A charitable gift of this kind will then be sold through The Exchange's vast consignment operation, relieving you and your love ones of the stress that can come from downsizing or liquidating an estate. The proceeds from the sale of your items will be used to support The Exchange's mission and filtered back into the local community in the form of arts related grants and scholarships. Additionally, a donation of this nature can be an efficient and cost effective approach to help simplify your affairs.
