Annual & Endowment Fund Gifts

From Generosity Grows Beauty

“Contribute to a fertile future today and tomorrow.”

Giving a gift to our Annual Fund and/or Endowment Fund helps strengthen the programs and mission of The Gardens both now and in the future.

Annual Fund gifts assist us immediately, in the present to meet our budget and respond quickly to unexpected costs. 

Endowment Fund gifts touch the future by contributing to our managed assets. Our endowment is managed by the Outer Banks Community Foundation.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and for joining us to make a difference as we respect our incredible past, and look future-forward.

Ways to Give

Cash – All gifts to the Annual Fund qualify for tax deductions. Gifts of cash or by check are the popular giving methods. Checks should be made payable to “The Elizabethan Gardens, Inc.” and mailed to 1411 National Park Drive, Manteo, NC 27954

Gifts of Stock – The IRS allows you one of its most significant tax breaks for gifts of appreciated securities. Call The Gardens for details.

Retirement Assets– Donate to the Gardens with a tax-free distribution from your IRA. The Tax Extenders and Alternative Minimum Tax Relief Act of 2008 (through 2009) allows individuals aged 70 1/2 and older to donate up to $100,000 from their IRAs and Roth IRAs to public charities without having to count the distributions as taxable income. Please consult with your attorney or other financial advisor to evaluate the applicability to your unique tax and financial circumstances.

Gifts may also be made by mail or telephone 252-473-3234 or by donating online. Thanks for your generous support.
