Information and knowledge of the pioneering arts of Olle Bærtling is also spread through donations and long term loans. The Nordrein-Westfalen Art Museum in Düsseldorf has for example received a donation of two paintings and one sculpture, which are exhibited in the collection besides other constructive artists. Paintings and sculptures have been lent as long-term loans from the foundation to different places in Sweden and abroad. The Swedish embassies in Paris, Moskva, Berlin and Vienna have for example received paintings from the foundation.

Även stiftelsens donationer och depositioner har bidragit till att sprida kunskap om Olle Bærtlings banbrytande konst. Museet i Düsseldorf har till exempel mottagit en donation av två målningar och en skulptur, vilka visas i museets samlingar vid sidan av andra internationellt kända konstruktiva konstnärer. På Sveriges ambassader i bl.a. Paris, Moskva, Berlin och Wien finns verk av Bærtling som deponerades av Bærtlingstiftelsen.
Långtidslån/depositioner, några exempel

Till följd av att Bærtlingstiftelsen med äganderätt eller på annat sätt förfogar över sammanlagt ca 300 verk (målningar, grafiska blad, textiler och skulpturer) av Olle Bærtling kan stiftelsen erbjuda unika möjligheter för museer och institutioner att på ett rationellt och ekonomiskt sätt ordna utställningar med Bærtlings konst. Stiftelsen besvarar gärna förfrågningar i detta syfte. Kontakt kan i så fall tas med stiftelsens ordförande Stellan Ellboj, Nationalmuseum, Box 16176, 103 24 Stockholm,
