Give from a donor-advised fund

Giving from your donor-advised fund (DAF) is simple. You can recommend a grant to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Foundation and your DAF administrator will distribute the grant directly. If you would like to designate your gift for a specific garden, collection, or program, please provide that information to your DAF administrator at the time you request the grant. DAF grants can be mailed directly to our secure lockbox: Development Office, Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Foundation, P.O. Box 860082, Minneapolis, MN 55486-0082. The Arboretum can also provide memberships for donations made via DAF’s!

Give from an IRA

IRA owners who are age 70 ½ or older can give up to $100,000 directly to charity from their IRA, tax-free. The amount of the charitable distribution can be excluded from your federal income, lowering your overall tax liability. This option provides tax savings even if you do not itemize deductions. IRA qualified charitable distributions can be mailed directly to our secure lockbox: Development Office, Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Foundation, P.O. Box 860082, Minneapolis, MN 55486-0082. The Arboretum can also provide memberships for donations made via IRA’s!
