Annual Giving
An unrestricted annual gift to the Albany Institute is one of the most important and significant ways a donor can support the Institute. It allows us to address our most urgent needs and to support innovative projects. And—because it reflects a donor’s high level of confidence in the vision and direction of the Albany Institute—an unrestricted gift can also leverage additional funding from government and foundation sources.
Your contribution to the Albany Institute of History & Art supports:
- Exhibitions and public programs of exceptional quality that are enjoyed by thousands of visitors each year
- Ongoing care, conservation, and maintenance of the museum’s collections
- Innovative and award-winning curriculum-based school programs
- Museum accessibility for underserved audiences
- Collections and library research projects
Thank you for considering a gift to the Albany Institute. Your support affirms your commitment to the Institute’s mission and makes an important contribution to the quality of life in New York’s Capital Region.
Your generosity will make a difference!

Hi Raphel, thank you for your interest in the art kits! Yes, you absolutely can order multiple sets. We ask that if someone would like to make a large order (such as 10 or more) for a whole class that they get in touch with our Director of Art Programs, Sarah Clowe directly so we can ensure we have enough prepared in stock.
