Charitable donations
Canadians donating art, antiques, or other collectibles worth more than $1,000 to museums and public institutions with charitable status require written appraisal reports to establish the fair market value of the gifts. Increased accountability requirements and problems with overstated and unsubstantiated valuations have prompted many public institutions to ask that appraisals comply with “industry standards.” To learn more about how Appraisal Associates can provide museums and public institutions with appraisal reports for charitable donation purposes, please contact us.
Insurance coverage
Insurance coverage appraisal reports are your institution’s evidence of value in the event of a loss and claim. Appraisal Associates has a great deal of experience with this type of appraisal, and most insurance companies in Canada are familiar with our reports. Please contact us to discuss your institution’s insurance coverage appraisal options.

Insurance loss / claim
Appraisal Associates works with many insurance adjusters who process complex and unusual personal property claims involving art, antiques, and decorative art. As a result, we understand the type of information insurance companies want in a claim-related appraisal report. Appraisal Associates can bring this knowledge and experience to your claim when your insurer asks for proof of value.
