Good to know! Our gift agreement, accepting the gift, will be signed before the shipment of the art (which is our normal process anyway). We will request from the donor a copy of the bill of sale and use that value. As always, thanks John!

No. At least not unless you assume ownership/title/insurance/etc. in advance of the material being shipped. Otherwise, these costs are the donor's responsibility and not a deductible gift.

Hi team,
We have a donor who is gifting an art collection and also has offered to pay for the shipping and handling to get the items to our University. Can we count the payment for the shipping and handling as a gift? (its quite a large amount!)
Thank you,
