BEQUEST!
 Keep your passion alive.

Collections of erotic art, large and small, often are destroyed.

Friends and relatives are frequently unsure of what to do with artwork "outside of the mainstream". Passing it on to the Foundation is a legacy for yourself, and the artists' works you have enjoyed.

 The arts are often forgotten when writing a will, especially the erotic arts.

The Foundation is unique in its purpose, goals, and projects. Your bequest helps to insure the Foundation remains strong and healthy for another quarter of a century — and a resource for new generations.

Contact the Foundation office at 213.250.1685 to assist you with your planning.

The Foundation is very appreciative for your continued support and assistance in the furtherance of our goals.
The Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) Educational Archive,
so your donation is deductible to the extent allowed by law.

“In those days, a gay man was made to feel nothing but shame about his feelings and his sexuality. I wanted my drawings to counteract that, to show gay men being happy and positive about who they were. Oh, I didn’t sit down to think this all out carefully. But I knew — right from the start — that my men were going to be proud and happy men!" — Tom of Finland
