Both the Sorolla Museum and the Sorolla Museum Foundation are recognised by law as potential beneficiaries of patronage. Patrons may be natural or legal persons, and donations may consist of cash or items that are part of Spain's Historical Heritage and registered in the General Registry of Objects of Cultural Interest or the general inventory referred to in Law 16/1985, of 25 June, on the Spanish Historical Heritage, or simply donations of works of art of assured quality. In any event, donors are eligible for tax breaks (under Law 49/2002, of 23 December, on the tax regime for non-profit bodies and tax incentives for sponsorship).

Long term loans

Some of Sorolla's works in the museum are long-term loans from generous owners. These works of extraordinary quality, which enhance the understanding of Sorolla’s wide and diverse artistic production, complete the Museum’s collection and return temporarily to the place where they were created.
