Westmoreland Museum of American Art Receives $8 Million Lead Gift from Richard King Mellon Foundation
Largest Gift in Museum's History Launches Leadership Phase of Its Campaign for the Future Westmoreland
Contact: Judy Linsz Ross, Director of Marketing/IT
GREENSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA - The Westmoreland Museum of American Art has received an $8 million grant from the Richard King Mellon Foundation in support of their capital and endowment campaign. The campaign includes plans for an architecturally significant new wing, renovation of the existing building and a complete re-design of the grounds. The gift is the largest contribution to-date received by the Museum. Of the $8 million, the Foundation indicated that $2 million is to be reserved to shape a challenge to other donors later in the campaign. The fundraising goal of $35 million includes $15 million for construction, $15 million for endowment and $5 million to support Museum operations during the life of the campaign.
Planning for the expansion/renovation was initiated in 2009 in response to the continued growth of the Museum's collections, educational programming, and critically acclaimed exhibitions program. The Museum's 50-plus year old building was also in need of reconfiguration to serve the needs of an art museum operating in the 21st century. The Westmoreland is currently in the design and programming phase of planning working with Ennead Architects (NYC) and LaQuatra Bonci Landscape Architects (Pittsburgh).
Bruce M. Wolf, President of the Board of Trustees, stated "The R.K. Mellon Foundation and the Mellon Family have been among The Westmoreland's most resolute benefactors. As we prepare to launch our campaign, the R. K. Mellon Foundation's generous support will make our goal achievable. We thank the Foundation for its enthusiastic endorsement of our vision. "
"This gift not only validates the Museum's strategic planning for our capital and endowment campaign, it propels us forward. To say it is very gratifying is not saying enough. It is empowering, " said Director/CEO Judith H. O'Toole upon receiving word of the gift. "We have had a long relationship with the R. K. Mellon Foundation; beginning with Richard King Mellon himself who served on The Westmoreland's founding Board of Trustees, and continuing with his grandson, Armour N. Mellon who serves currently. As a foundation that is dedicated to improving the quality of life in southwestern Pennsylvania, they have not only supported the Museum financially but also through their time and expertise. "
About the Richard King Mellon Foundation
For more than 60 years the Richard King Mellon Foundation has invested in the competitive future and quality of life in southwestern Pennsylvania, and in the protection, preservation, and restoration of America's environmental heritage. The Foundation was created in 1947 by Richard King Mellon (1899 - 1970), president and chairman of Mellon Bank, a conservationist and leading figure in the financial and civic life of Pennsylvania. The Foundation's current giving priorities primarily serve southwestern Pennsylvania with a program focus on Regional Economic Development and Conservation, along with Education and Human Services and Nonprofit Capacity Building. The Foundation gives first consideration to requests that clearly align with these interests and demonstrates the greatest likelihood of achieving measurable results.
About The Westmoreland Expansion/Renovation Project
In preparation for this project, The Westmoreland has undertaken a careful set of studies to guide the thinking for and feasibility of the expansion. Primary research was conducted in 2009 to determine if the Museum's geographic reach and public image would support an expansion and found that awareness and visitor penetration have increased since 2003 by significant amounts within Allegheny and Westmoreland Counties. The Museum's is very favorably regarded with broad name recognition.
An architectural steering committee headed by Westmoreland Trustee Harry A. Thompson II was organized in 2010 and continues to guide the design process in conjunction with Museum staff.
The new campus and architectural design will deliver a 21st century building that will be an architectural asset to visitors and the community. Words used to guide the design principles include welcoming, user-friendly, distinctive and memorable. The expansion and renovation will reflect the Museum's mission and fully address the Museum's and its community's programmatic needs. The endowment will add to the organization's sustainability.
