Annual Support of The Friends
Annual Support Payments
BY CREDIT CARD
PAY BY CHECK
We invite you to join the Friends of the Wild Flower Garden, Inc. By joining you become a continuing supporter of the Garden and join a diverse group who have recognized the value of this small patch of land and wish to honor the vision of an extraordinary woman, Eloise Butler, who first sought to preserve it over a century ago.
Annual support of the Friends can be yours for as little as $15 per year. All annual support donations are on a 12 month basis from the month of joining. You can become a Permanent Life-long Friend by payment of $500 or more. The Friends are a 501(c)(3) entity and all support payments are completely tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Friends receive our newsletter, The Fringed Gentian™, published three times per year and rights to participate and vote at the annual membership meeting. The Fringed Gentian™ is available by post or email - - email only to non-U.S. addresses. Administration and fund raising expenses of The Friends average less than 3% of revenue in recent years, thus most of your support money goes to our mission to protect, preserve, and promote the interests of the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden and Bird Sanctuary.
