THE LADEW SOCIETY

Planned Giving for Ladew

When you make a planned gift to Ladew, you become a part of the growing family of our very closest supporters.

Ladew Gardens has flourished because of the generosity of its donors. It began with the bequest of Harvey S. Ladew in 1971; since then thousands of people have contributed to make these gardens among the most beautiful in North America.

The Ladew Society was founded in 2001 to honor donors who have made a planned gift to Ladew. Their generosity is helping to ensure that Ladew Gardens will continue to educate and inspire for generations to come.

There are many ways to become a member of The Ladew Society, and we would welcome the opportunity to explore them with you.

Ways

Your Legacy At Ladew

To Join

Bequests

Do you have some property that you no longer need? Giving it to Ladew could help you avoid capital gains taxes and provide you with a substantial tax deduction.

LIFE-INCOME GIFTS

Bequest intentions as part of a will have been the most traditional way for our members to join The Ladew Society. We hope you will contact us for some suggested wording. A legacy gift of any size is invaluable to Ladew.

GIFTS OF REAL ESTATE

Are you interested in making a major gift to Ladew that will provide you with income for the rest of your life? A charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust could do just that. Sound too good to be true? It’s really not. Please let us show you how.

There are other planned giving options as well, and we look forward to discussing them with you.
