American Patrons of Tate is an independent charity based in New York that supports the work of Tate in the United Kingdom. It receives full tax exempt status from the IRS under section 501(c) (3) allowing United States taxpayers to receive tax deductions on gifts.

It welcomes gifts from individuals, foundations and corporations who wish to contribute towards the success of Europe's leading art institution. Charitable contributions can be designated for the following key programs:

  • Exhibitions
    Supporting Tate's exhibition program of leading American artists and schools, many of which travel to partner museums in the United States.

  • Scholarship
    Supporting curatorial, catalogue and conservation research.

  • Capital and Endowment
    Supporting future phases of capital development at Tate Modern and Tate Britain and increasing the endowment of the American Fund for the Tate Gallery which helps acquire work by North and South American artists for presentation to Tate.
