The Frederick Meijer Gardens Foundation was established as the Michigan Botanic Garden Foundation in 1993. It is a single-purpose foundation with the goal of providing an endowment fund to support the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park.
The Frederik Meijer Gardens Foundation has current assets of over $30 million. The Foundation accepts general endowment fund contributions as well as funds designated by the donor for restricted use. Contributions may be made as annual gifts, pledges over multiple years, or designated to an existing fund. A named fund may be established for $10,000 or more. The Foundation may be included in estate plans. All contributions are deductible for both income and estate tax purposes.
The Frederik Meijer Gardens Foundation elects an independent, public Board of Trustees. Current Foundation Board Members are listed to the right. |
