2012 Wine and Non-Wine Donations
We understand the demands made on your generosity each year are great, and we know you must make charitable gifts selectively. Your participation in the Memphis Wine + Food Series allows the Brooks Museum to continue to pursue our vision of transforming lives through the power of art. Your donation of wine, monetary gifts, and luxury items directly supports traveling exhibitions, an expanding permanent collection, public programs and educational outreach. All donated items are tax deductible up to their respective fair market value.
Making your Donation
We are prepared to receive your wine donation immediately following our receipt of your completed donation form. Many donors prefer to send their wines during the cooler months. We will lock and store your donation in a temperature-controlled cellar.
Shipping Instructions
DIRECT SHIPPING NEWS: On May 21, 2009, the Tennessee legislature passed the direct shipping bill which allows up to 3 cases of wine, per winery, per year to be shipped direct.
Industry donations may also be shipped through your Memphis area wholesaler. Clearly mark the shipping carton(s): The Memphis Wine + Food Series - Brooks Museum Wine Auction.
