Ways to Donate
Your donation will support our ongoing programs including year-round free admission to the galleries and studios.
Gifts of Cash
Cash gifts allow the donor to receive full tax benefits if they itemize deductions. Gifts of all sizes are appreciated and can be designated to benefit a particular program.
Matching Gifts
Many companies match donations made by their employees to 501(c)(3) organizations, or provide grant opportunities to such organizations for which their employees volunteer.
Qualified Charitable Contribution
Taxpayers who are 70 ½ or over with a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) can experience significant tax benefits when they donate money directly from their IRA account. Qualified taxpayers can donate up to $108k each year from their IRA and pay no tax on the withdrawal.
This charitable distribution will cover the annual required minimum distribution that comes into effect at the age of 70 ½.
We would love to talk with you about a Qualified Charitable Contribution – one of the best tax-saving strategies available to senior adults or couples aged 70 ½ or older. Please call or email Roman Kisz at LegacyOak Advisors, powered by Ameriprise @ 805-915-4747 or roman.kisz@ampf.com.
Donate Appreciated Stock
Donating appreciated stock is one of the most tax-smart ways to give. If you’ve held publicly traded stock for more than one year, giving it directly to Studio Channel Islands can unlock significant benefits — both for you and for SCIART.
Why Donate Stock Instead of Cash?
✅ Avoid Capital Gains Tax
When you donate stock directly, you won’t owe taxes on the gains — and neither will we.
✅ Deduct the Full Value
If you itemize deductions, you can claim a charitable deduction for the stock’s fair market value (as of the date of the gift).
✅ Make a Greater Impact
You can give more — without spending more — by donating assets that have grown in value.
Tax Benefits in 2025
- Deduct the full fair market value if the stock has been held for more than 1 year
- No capital gains tax owed
- Deduction limit: up to 30% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) for appreciated assets
- Gifts must be completed by December 31, 2025 to qualify for a 2025 deduction
If you would like to know more about supporting SCIART by donating stock please call or email Roman Kisz at LegacyOak Advisors, powered by Ameriprise @ 805-915-4747 or roman.kisz@ampf.com.

Estate Planning
Roxie Ray Artist Endowment Fund
Roxie Ray was a founding member of Studio Channel Islands; she was an artist, philanthropist, and political activist. Roxie worked with then president of California State University Channel Islands to establish a colony of artists on the campus of the emerging University. She created a garden at the University and supported the development of the galleries which enabled world class art exhibitions to be presented within our community.
When Studio Channel Islands moved to Old Town Camarillo Roxie brought her energy and love for the organization to its new home. She served on the board and on several committees, advancing the artistic ambition and community impact of the organization. She established the Roxie Ray Endowment in 2019 to support Studio Channel Islands in delivering its mission.
In 2024, we welcomed our fourth emerging artist into the program.
