The Garden is grateful for every contribution and invites you to give in a way that is most meaningful to you.

Consider making a gift in memory of a loved one or in honor of a special occasion.

• Enjoy the benefits of membership, which increase as your gift increases.

• Make plans to give to the Garden beyond your lifetime.

• Contribute to the Henry Shaw Fund, which supports the Garden’s immediate operating needs.

IRA Charitable Rollover

The IRA charitable rollover is back for 2013. Donors age 70 1/2 or older are eligible to transfer up to $100,000 from their IRA to a qualified charity such as the Missouri Botanical Garden. A charitable gift made in this way means that you will not pay income taxes on the money.

Contact your IRA provider today to initiate an IRA rollover. If you have questions, call the Institutional Advancement Office at the Garden at (314) 577-5181 or email plannedgiving@mobot.org.
