Through estate gifts, it is possible to make a contribution that will allow the Botanical Garden to be maintained and grow to its full potention in the future. 

There are several ways you can make a legacy gift to the Memorial University Botanical Garden.

Bequest: A gift through your will.  

Life insurance: A gift through a life insurance policy.

RRSP-RRIF: Designate Memorial University as the beneficiary of your RRSP or RRIF.

Appreciated securities*: A gift through publicly traded stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.

Gifts in kind*: A gift of property such as historical documents and photos, real estate, garden supplies, and building supplies.   

Wise estate planning can reduce taxes payable and maximize the impact of your estate, allowing you to help your heirs and fulfill your charitable wishes. Please consult your lawyer, accountant, and/or financial advisors when planning a legacy gift.

*Please note that the ability to donate stocks or extend gifts in kind to the Botanical Garden is not restricted to Planned Giving. More details can be found under the menu items Donating Stocks and Gifts in Kind.
