The Norfolk Botanical Garden Evergreen Society

recognizes and celebrates an outstanding group of friends who generously support the Garden beyond their lifetimes.

One of the greatest contributions that can be made on behalf of Norfolk Botanical Garden’s future is through individuals’ taking advantage of the tax-saving and income-producing incentives available through charitable gifts.

Charitable giving as part of your estate planning or investment planning can accomplish the following benefits:

  • Underwrite and help perpetuate worthy organizations of your choice.
  • Create federal, state and local income tax savings.
  • Avoid capital gains taxes.
  • Secure life income while gaining substantial tax savings.
  • Reduce or eliminate federal estate taxes as well as reduce estate settlement costs.

Thank you Evergreen Society Members
