What is the Garden's standard donation?

Each request for a donation will be mailed a charitable donation of four (4) general admission passes to our family of attractions. Each pass is only valid for general admission for one person; special admission rate events, exhibits or attractions do not apply. We will fulfill one donation request per organization, per year.

What is the value of the Garden's donation?

The total for the four passes is valued up to $48 ($12 value per pass).

Can organizations publish the Garden's name as a donor?

No. The donation of these passes does not constitute the endorsement of an organization, sponsorship of any event or the right to use the Missouri Botanical Garden’s name on any printed (advertising, marketing, etc.) materials. No goods or services will be provided in exchange for this donation.

Should organizations send a confirmation letter?

In the spirit of conservation, we request that you do not send a written letter of thanks, acknowledgement or receipt.

  • The Garden does not donate passes to political organizations or political action committees.
  • It is our policy to reserve the right to grant or deny donation requests as we see fit.
