Planned Gifts
Many opportunities are available for donors to make a more significant contribution to the Gardens through a planned gift such as a will bequest, life insurance policy or retirement plan. Some planned giving options even offer you an income stream during your lifetime.
People of all income levels can make a difference through a planned gift.
Endowed Gifts
Gifts made to the endowment help sustain the Gardens in perpetuity. Only the annual earnings on the principle amount are utilized each year to support areas of need. Gifts of any amount may be designated to the Reiman Gardens Endowment Fund, however, minimum gifts of $50,000 (payable outright or over a period of five years) are needed to establish a “Named Endowed Fund.” Individuals or families may create a Named Endowed Fund and place all subsequent gifts in their fund. Annual earnings may be specified to support a particular program, garden area or remain unrestricted.
For more information on any of the giving vehicles mentioned above, or to talk about additional ways your gift could make a real impact at Reiman Gardens.
