Please help Unbound Visual Arts, Inc. (UVA), a 501(c)(3) charitable and educational corporation, to continue to create great thematic art exhibitions and programs for its artists and for the communities we serve. UVA also assists underserved artists without resources, to share their art publicly. As a non-profit educational charity, with limited outside funding, UVA needs funds for exhibitions, insurance, part-time salaries, and management of its gallery and printed materials. You can denote any amount – $10, $25, $50, $100, $500 or any other amount that’s right for you. UVA is registered with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Attorney General’s Division of Public Charities and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth as a non-profit corporation. From the former, UVA has a “Certificate of Solicitation.” All donations and membership donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the IRS law.
Checks can also be made out to “Unbound Visual Arts” and mailed to 43 N. Beacon St., Allston, MA 02134. Text or call your questions to 617-657-4278.
Membership is open to both artists and art enthusiasts. Both donations and membership donations are fully tax-deductible on your federal income taxes. See our recent accomplishments.

This popular option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, a qualified charitable distribution or QCD. To initiate the gift, contact your IRA administrator in person or on their website.

Donor-advised funds (DAF)
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a centralized charitable account. Donors can choose their own Fidelity Charitable®, Schwab Charitable®, and the BNY Mellon Charitable Gift Fund® to make a donation to Unbound Visual Arts.
DAF makes it easy for charitably inclined individuals, families, and businesses to make tax-deductible charitable donations of cash, publicly-traded stock, and, in some cases, certain liquid assets, to a public charity, like Unbound Visual Arts.
