===Officers and the board of trustees===
Currently, the board of trustees includes 46 trustees and 15 life trustees. Even including the board's 14 "honorary" trustees, who do not have voting rights and do not play as direct a role in the museum, this amounts to an average individual contribution of more than $7 million.<ref name="nytimes.com"/> The Founders Wall was created in 2004, when MoMA's expansion was completed, and features the names of the actual founders in addition to those who gave significant gifts; about a half-dozen names have been added since 2004. For example, [[Ileana Sonnabend]]'s name was added in 2012, even though she was only 15 when the museum was established in 1929.<ref>{{cite news| last=Cohen| first=Patricia| date=November 28, 2012| title=MoMA Gains Treasure That Met Also Coveted| language=en-US| newspaper=The New York Times| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/28/arts/design/moma-gains-treasure-that-metropolitan-museum-of-art-also-coveted.html| access-date=June 25, 2020| issn=0362-4331| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121128131551/http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/28/arts/design/moma-gains-treasure-that-metropolitan-museum-of-art-also-coveted.html| archive-date=November 28, 2012}}</ref>
