Both are (mostly) tax deductible, so I'm curious what The Cultivist's target market is now.
In 2019 the Tax Foundation estimated that approximately 13.9% of tax payers itemized deductions (meaning that ~86% used the standard deduction). I pretty seriously doubt that tax "deductibility" has much of anything to do with peoples decisions on art museum memberships... (I'm not saying its zero, but for the vast majority of people it is totally irrelevant)
