Tribute Program
The Adkins Arboretum Tribute Program provides an
opportunity to make a meaningful gift that will be an enduring
tribute in honor or memory of family or friends. All tribute gifts
are used to support the Arboretum’s mission to promote the
appreciation and conservation of the native plants of the Delmarva
Peninsula through its “educational, research, cultural and
recreational programs.” All gifts are tax-deductible.
Contribution levels:
- Tribute
Benches ($3,000)
A bench has been designated for individuals to donate to the
Arboretum as a tribute to a loved one. It will complement the
trails and walkways and other key locations in the Arboretum.
The name of the honored individual will be engraved on a plaque
at the base of the bench. The Arboretum will provide the donor
with a choice of locations for placement of the bench.
- Tribute Books ($250)
Donations towards a book or books for the Arboretum’s
library are placed in the library book fund to be used by the
librarian to select a book or books for the Arboretum’s
collection. A commemorative bookplate naming the person being
honored or memorialized will be placed inside the book’s
front cover.
- Memorial Contributions
Friends and family can make a donation to Adkins Arboretum
to honor or memorialize someone special. The donation will be
placed in an unrestricted fund for use as deemed necessary by
the Arboretum. Memorial contributions may be made online, by
phone or by mailing a check to the Arboretum.
Benefits and Recognition:
- Donors through the Tribute Program will be acknowledged in
the Arboretum’s annual report and recorded in a Tribute
Book, available for viewing to visitors upon request.
- First-time tribute donors at $1,000 level and
above will receive a one-year family membership to the Arboretum.
- If contact information is provided, a card acknowledging
the donation will be sent to the family of the memorialized or
honored individual, without reference to the size of the gift.
