Celebrate Connections This Season

The past year has been full of meaningful moments, made possible by your support and passion for the Garden. Every visit shows how this place connects people to nature in unique and personal ways.

Consider a donation to ensure these connections continue to thrive for years to come. Together we can expand programs, grow outreach, and preserve this special place for future generations.

Gifts made by December 31 are eligible for a 2024 tax deduction to the extent allowed by law.

The Garden is a 100% community supported nonprofit that connects people with plants in an environment that engages, inspires, and refreshes. A gift to the Annual Campaign allows us to continue to grow for years to come!

More than 200,000 annual guests on average explore a living museum of beautiful plants, outstanding educational opportunities, and exciting and engaging exhibits and events. This is possible because of the philanthropic support of our partners – YOU! You allow us to turn ordinary days into extraordinary experiences for all who come to the Garden and continue to grow memories for many years to come.

IRA Charitable Rollover

A tax-saving way to help Green Bay Botanical Garden – If you are 70 ½ or older you can take advantage of a simple way to benefit the Garden and receive tax benefits in return. You can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as ours without having to pay income taxes on the money. This law no longer has an expiration date so you are free to make annual gifts to our organization this year and well into the future.

Donor Advised Funds

The Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is an increasingly popular way to make a charitable gift. DAFs can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier. Here are two simple ways you can make a gift through your DAF:
