BOSTON (AP) — Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is getting a $5 million gift from an anonymous donor, but it comes with one condition — the museum must raise an additional $5 million in endowment funds from its donors.
The matching gift was made to the museum’s $65 million “Renewing the Promise: For the Public Forever” fundraising campaign, which is raising funds to implement the Gardner’s current strategic plan, officials said in a statement.
The gift challenges the museum to raise $5 million in endowment funds by 2024.
The strategic plan’s goals are to strengthen the museum’s core values and reach broader audiences.
The campaign was more than halfway to its goal as of August.
“We are deeply grateful to our challenge donor for this incredible gift. Isabella herself made the promise that the Museum would be dedicated ‘for the education and enjoyment of the public forever,’” museum Director Peggy Fogelman said in a statement.
“Now over a century later, this promise not only still resonates, but challenges us to bring forth the ideas and issues embedded in the art that relate to people’s own lives and offer opportunities for new creativity and new narratives from traditionally marginalized voices,” she said.
