Make a Big Impact With a Future Gift
When you include Desert Botanical Garden in your estate plan, your generosity advances excellence in education, research, exhibition and conservation of desert plants of the world with emphasis on the Sonoran Desert. Thank you for ensuring the Garden’s impact will continue well into the future.
A Gift in Your Will or Trust
With as little as one sentence, you can make a gift in your will or trust that significantly impacts the efforts of the Garden. Whether you choose to give a set amount or a percentage of your estate, your support ensures we are able to continue our work for years to come.
Beneficiary Designations
Naming the Garden as a beneficiary of one of your assets, such as your retirement plan or life insurance policy, is a convenient way to ensure we can continue to serve our mission of advancing excellence in education, research, exhibition and conservation of desert plants of the world. All it takes is a few minutes and a simple form.
Charitable Gift Annuity
Feel confident in your retirement years with a charitable gift annuity. This gift can provide regular payments and provide the Garden with the resources to ensure it is always a compelling attraction. You can also qualify for a variety of tax benefits, including a federal income tax charitable deduction.
Use Your IRA
If you are 70½ years old or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to give to the Garden and receive tax benefits in return. You can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to a qualified charity without having to pay income taxes on the money.
Gift of Appreciated Securities
Securities and mutual funds that have increased in value and been held for more than one year are popular assets to use when making a gift to the Garden. Making a gift of securities or mutual funds offers you the chance to support our work while realizing important benefits for yourself.
Endowed Gift
When you give to the Garden Endowment, you give a gift with both immediate and long-term benefits, helping to achieve our vision of being an indispensable resource for learning about cactus, agave and other desert plants of the Sonoran Desert and the world.
