Support Our Work

Learn more about our opportunities and programs for matching gifts, planned giving, and other ways to support our mission to save and share gardens.

Planned Giving

The Frank & Anne Cabot Society The Garden Conservancy honors our visionary founders through the Frank and Anne Cabot Society, recognizing donors who have made planned gifts to support the future of our organization. We celebrate those whose generosity ensures that the legacy of extraordinary gardens - the living horticultural heritage and part of the cultural legacy of America - is available for generations to come.

A well-planned gift can support the Garden Conservancy's future while helping you and your family achieve your philanthropic goals. Including the Conservancy in your estate plans costs nothing to you now but can have an enormous impact on our ability to preserve and share extraordinary gardens for generations to come.

For more information about the Cabot Society, please contact Bridget Connors at bconnors@gardenconservancy.org or 845.424.6500, ext. 228.

You can also view our planned giving brochure to learn more.

Sponsorships & Underwriting

We rely on the generous support of individuals, families, foundations, and corporations to continue and expand our preservation, Open Days, and education programs. Corporate and Foundation grants and sponsorships provide essential support toward our mission.

Your gift can be directed to general support, allowing us to allocate resources where the organization needs them most. Gifts can also be directed to provide major support to one or more of our core activities: garden preservation, the documentary film program, Open Days, and the lectures, expert-led garden-study tours and demonstrations, and conferences that support and strengthen the field of garden preservation and education.

To discuss options for your giving, please contact Bridget Connors at bconnors@gardenconservancy.org or 845.424.6500, ext. 228.

Other Ways to Give

Gifts of Appreciated Securities

The Garden Conservancy accepts gifts of appreciated securities, which are sold upon receipt to support our preservation, Open Days, and educational programs. A gift of stock provides significant benefits to the donor, including charitable tax deduction and savings on capital gains taxes.

To make a gift of appreciated stock, please contact Director of Development Bridget Connors at bconnors@gardenconservancy.org or 845.424.6500.

Matching Gifts

Your contribution may result in additional support for the Garden Conservancy, as many companies match gifts made by their employees. Please contact your employer to obtain the necessary forms and submit them along with your contribution, and we'll take care of the rest!
