A $10 Gift Adds Up

7/15 Update: THIS JUST IN ... WIN A COLLECTIBLE HAMILTON!!! While artists working at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing are usually shrouded in secrecy, we happen to know the one responsible for the current Hamilton on the $10 bill! And he wants to support the Pyramid too. Engraver Kenneth Kipperman has graciously donated SIGNED Hamiltons to our cause. Now retired, Ken worked nearly 30 years at the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. The Hamilton on the current $10 bill is one of his many contributions to this country's currency and stamps. To encourage giving, and for a bit of fun, we will be raffling these collectible tens to folks who have contributed to this campaign. Each donation of $10 will be entered into the raffle (so if you gave $50, you will be entered 5 times). We will do drawings on July 20th, 30th and Aug.10th, 20th, 30th (see what we did there? - Increments of 10!).

Summer 2026 marks ten years for Pyramid in Hyattsville - and there is no place we'd rather be.

Pyramid is living its best life in this town. We have a permanent home that is about to get a little glow-up over the next year; we are helping equip a record number of artists and artistic projects; our education programs are solidly growing; our work is in demand by museums and organizations across the DMV; and we are attracting more artists, viewers, and collectors to our gallery than ever before.

But the good life is not without challenges. County support has recently been cut for Pyramid's exhibition and education programs by $30,000. Money doesn't stretch as far as it used to with the cost of everything ever increasing. Plus, expectations and wishes for Pyramid's services, current, and future, are also on the rise.

A gift of $10 in commemoration of our 10th year helps us mitigate some of these challenges and reflects the very true adage "many hands make light work;" Pyramid believes that. Commitment to collaboration is everywhere in our work, and we need collaborators in fundraising, too.

Make a donation of $10 to Pyramid this June. Our audacious goal is to have 1,000 people to give $10 this summer to raise $10,000 in support. If you've never given before, please show your love with a $10 gift. If you are already supporting, consider an additional $10 add-on and share with 10 friends. Or, if you have the capacity, give in any denomination of $10 to help us get to our 10k goal. We need the support of many hands to help the organization and its community live their best, most creative, and connected lives.

THANK YOU. Your gift makes you a partner in our work!

PS: this just in, Maryland residents and businesses: thanks to an award from the Maryland Community Investment Tax Credit (CITC) program, gifts of $500 or more may qualify for a Maryland state tax credit equal to 50% of your gift (that's on top of what you can already deduct!). So, if you have 50 Hamiltons to give, there will be extra Hamiltons for you too. Questions about CITC? Email Monica - mhorton@pyramid-atlantic.org.
