Share the Gift Fund
Unrestricted gifts to this fund support critical programming needs of the Gardens and are tax-deductible.
The Share the Gift Fund was begun in 2008 to help bring the Gardens to others who wish to enrich their Gardens experience and/or have barriers to attending the Gardens. Unrestricted annual gifts to this Fund allow us to invest in creating programs that have the most relevance for our community.
The Fund also supports critical visitor needs that arise from time to time that help make the Gardens more accessible to those who have physical, socio-economic, or other limitations.
Your gift will impact the lives of others. Here are some of our current visitor needs that your Share the Gift donation can impact.
- HELPING OTHERS GET AROUND: Our mobility carts are essential for helping many of our visitors get around the Gardens. However, the carts are 15 years old and need replacing. We currently have only one working cart, but are working to build our fleet back to four carts by the fall. Because we need sufficient horsepower necessary to power up the hill to the Tower, the carts that would do the job cost $5,000 each. Gifts to the Share the Gift Fund would help us buy these carts.
- DISCOVERY DAYS: This summer we are inviting kids to the Gardens for seven mornings of fun and learning – all part of our larger initiative to connect kids with nature. A gift of $32 would sponsor one child’s summer of Gardens discovery.
