Charitable Giving

Gifts to The Fells, a 501(c)(3) organization, are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. We rely on the generosity of donors, members, volunteers and friends for the financial support that helps make The Fells available for so many to enjoy and engage. Annual Fund gifts supplement our annual operating budget and other revenue streams that include admissions, self-serve Plant Stand sales, Shop sales, events and grants. They help to sustain day-to-day operations of the gardens and historic buildings, fund our ambitious education program for all ages and also help to serve the many needs of our members and visitors. Unrestricted gifts provide the greatest flexibility for The Fells to use wherever the need is most pressing. Every gift we receive, regardless of size, makes a difference.

A memorial gift to The Fells is the perfect gesture for remembrances of loved ones; and gifts to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries or other special occasions are always well received. We can even designate your gift toward a special project--a specially planted area of the Rock Garden or purchase of a needed piece of outdoor furniture are examples of how some chose to honor a loved one. Contact the Gatehouse office for more information on gifts of this kind.


We also accept gifts of securities and can help you with gifts of planned giving. Call us for more information. Consider making a gift today.
