Cultivate Change

Support Mounts Botanical Garden and help sustain education, conservation and community engagement through a variety of meaningful giving opportunities. Whether you choose to give monthly, honor a loved one or leave a lasting legacy, your generosity ensures the Garden continues to thrive for generations to come.

Monthly Giving: Become a Sustaining Donor

A recurring gift—whether $10, $25, or $50—provides reliable, year-round support for Mounts Botanical Garden programs, including horticulture, environmental education and daily Garden care. Monthly giving is convenient, budget-friendly and one of the most impactful ways to support the Garden.

IRA Charitable Giving and Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)

If you are age 70½ or older, you can make a charitable contribution directly from your IRA through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). This tax-efficient giving option allows you to support Mounts Botanical Garden while meeting your Required Minimum Distribution.

A QCD:

  • Counts toward your RMD
  • May reduce your taxable income
  • Provides immediate support for Garden operations and programs

Leadership Giving Opportunities

Leadership gifts of $500, $1,000, $2,500 or more provide essential support across every area of Mounts Botanical Garden, from living plant collections to educational programming and community outreach. These gifts play a vital role in advancing the Garden’s mission.

Matching Gifts: Double Your Donation

Many employers offer corporate matching donation programs that can double or even triple your charitable contribution. Check with your employer to see if your donation to Mounts Botanical Garden qualifies and maximize your impact at no additional cost.

Honor or Memorial Gifts: Commemorative Benches

Honor a loved one with a customized commemorative bench at Mounts Botanical Garden. Memorial and tribute gifts are a meaningful way to celebrate a connection to nature, education, or the Garden while creating a lasting presence in a peaceful setting.

Sponsor Youth Education Programs

Help inspire the next generation of environmental stewards. A gift of $250 sponsors a bus and brings an entire class of up to 75 students to Mounts Botanical Garden for hands-on learning and exploration.

Gifts of Stock and Securities

Donating appreciated stocks or securities is a tax-smart way to support Mounts Botanical Garden. Stock gifts may allow you to avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a charitable deduction for the full market value.
