Bequests, Gifts and Memorials
While the University provides most of the funds to run the Botanic Gardens, it cannot support it totally. The advancement, improvement, and even the success of the Botanic Gardens depends upon the generous support of the community and Friends. The Gardens will gratefully accept gifts at any time. You might also consider investing in the Gardens future by remembering it in your will. Bequests may be for an unrestricted or a specific purpose. Such gifts or bequests qualify as charitable contributions, and as such are deductible as prescribed by Federal and State tax laws. For further information, please call the Director, Dr. J. Giles Waines at (951) 827-3706, or the Development Office at (951) 827-6449, or write to Dr. J. Giles Waines, Botanic Gardens, University of California, Riverside, CA 92521-0124, or email: ucrbg@ucr.edu
Dedicated benches and trees in the Gardens are a way to honor or remember a loved one or a member of the community. Dedicated benches are $5000. This pays for the bench, site pad, installation and memorial plaque. A portion of the cost is placed into an endowment for maintenance and repairs. Dedicated trees are $2000 including the tree, installation, a memorial label and a portion endowed for upkeep. For more information on dedicated benches or trees, contact the Director as advised above.
