Donate

Picture
Following are ways you can donate and help ensure The East Texas Arboretum & Botanical Society will be here for generations to come:
  • Planned Gifts: Charitable gifts, wills, life insurance,  donations, etc.
  • Memorial Gifts: Any gift to honor or memorialize a loved one, including birthdays and anniversaries.
  • IRA Charitable Rollover: With the IRA charitable rollover, you can make a gift from your IRA account to help support the work of our organization.  Gifts from your IRA (up to $100,000 per year) are not reported as taxable income and qualify for your required minimum distribution that can lower your income and taxes.
  • Memberships: Yearly memberships are available at several levels.
  • Equipment: Donations of mowers, tractors or other lawn and garden equipment are welcome.
