The Hammer Museum publicly announced its capital campaign in February 2018 with a $30 million lead gift from Los Angeles philanthropists Lynda and Stewart Resnick and a $20 million gift from Marcy Carsey, chair of the museum’s Board of Directors. Half of the campaign’s $180 million goal will underwrite a major multiyear transformation of the Hammer’s facility to be completed in 2020, with the remainder of the funds providing ongoing support for the museum’s acclaimed programs, exhibitions, and operations. The campaign has raised more than $140 million to date.
