A gift through your will or living trust is a meaningful way to ensure the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens continues to inspire, educate, and connect people with the natural world for generations to come. 

A bequest can be unrestricted, allowing us to direct your gift where it’s needed most, or designated for a specific purpose that is meaningful to you. 

You can leave a lasting gift through: 

• Cash 

• Appreciated securities 

• Real estate 

• Tangible personal property 

• Closely held stock 

Talk with your estate planning professional about including the Botanical Gardens in your will or living trust and creating a legacy that will continue to bloom for years to come.

The Botanical Gardens is more than a beautiful place; it’s where memories are made, curiosity blossoms, and generations discover the wonders of the natural world. By naming the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens Society, Inc. as a beneficiary, you can help preserve this treasured community resource and ensure its beauty, educational programs, and extraordinary experiences continue to inspire generations to come. 

A beneficiary designation is a simple yet powerful way to make a lasting difference. You can designate a specific dollar amount, a percentage, or your entire account by requesting a beneficiary form from your plan or policy administrator. 

You can leave your legacy through: 

• IRA and retirement plans 

• Life insurance policies 

• Donor-advised funds 

• Commercial annuities 

Your legacy can help our Botanical Gardens flourish long into the future. Contact your plan administrator to update your beneficiary designation. 

Your IRA can do more than support your retirement, it can help our community grow, too. If you’re 70½ years or older, you may be eligible to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to the Botanical Gardens. Your gift can reduce your taxable income while supporting our mission to deepen the connection between people and plants through beautiful gardens and extraordinary experiences.
