Your Gift Directly Affects Our Ability to Fulfill Our Mission
Heritage is a very unique place. It exists for you and because of you – and that lends something very special to our mission of education through nature, art, culture, and play. Each dollar that is donated not only maintains these acres of beauty, education, and play, it creates a community. Whether you visit once, or come season after season, these beautiful grounds, these wonderful collections, and this place to make memories, is a direct reflection on your involvement.
We ask you, our community, to help us continue to provide opportunities to learn and explore, to relax and play, and to make memories with one another for generations. Please know that your gift will keep this mission going, keep our gardens thriving, preserve, protect and make accessible our collections, and keep the dedicated individuals who keep all of what makes Heritage unique, employed. We are proud of Heritage and hope you are, too. It is an important place that provides something for each member of the family, of every age and ability, and we can’t thank you enough for your involvement.
Please consider donating today. Know that there are many ways to give and each gift is cherished. We are inspired and humbled by you and your generous consideration. From our hearts, we thank you.
Annual Fund
Every year, funds provided by generous donors to the Annual Fund are immediately put to work at Heritage Museums & Gardens, providing vital support for educational programs, family memory making, and preservation. Gifts of cash, check, credit cards, and securities of all sizes are welcome and appreciated.
Monthly giving is an easy and efficient way for donors to regularly contribute to the Annual Fund and make a difference year-round. Any gift can be a recurring monthly gift; simply select the monthly gift option on the form and your credit or debit card will be automatically charged each month.
Would you like to make your charitable dollars go further? Many companies provide Employee Matching Gifts that can amplify contributions made by their associates and retirees. Please check with your employer for opportunities to increase the impact of your gift.
