Strengths:

  • Comprehensive Information Gathering: You're collecting necessary details about the donor (contact info, how they heard about you) and the artwork (title, artist, medium, dimensions, description, value, provenance). This is crucial for record-keeping, documenting, and tax purposes.
  • Clear Terms and Conditions: The inclusion of statements about ownership, transfer of ownership, use of the artwork, and acceptance of terms is vital for legal protection and clarity between the donor and the organization. Requiring signatures for these is also important.
  • Distinction Between Required and Optional: Clearly differentiating between required and optional fields is helpful for donors and ensures you get the most critical information.
 

Areas for Potential Improvement:

  • Artwork Information - Appraisal: While you mention an appraisal, you should strongly encourage it for any donation of significant value. Explain why it's important (for tax purposes and to establish a fair market value). You might even consider requiring it for donations above a certain monetary threshold.
  • Donation Terms - Restrictions: While you mention restrictions, it's important to be very clear about how you handle them. State that while you appreciate donor wishes, you may not be able to accommodate all restrictions due to your organization's mission and policies. It's best to discuss any potential restrictions before the donation is finalized.
  • Donation Terms - Acknowledgment: Add a section for the donor to specify how they would like to be acknowledged (e.g., in exhibition labels, publications, website, etc.). This is a nice touch and shows appreciation.
