DONATIONS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

The Quad City Botanical Center is a tax-exempt 501c3 non-profit organization, dedicated to bringing people and plants together in fun and meaningful ways. Your financial support is essential to our future. There are many ways to contribute, and we are so thankful for your kindness! 

The Botanical Center is your community’s living plant museum. We encourage you to visit often in every season. Your admission fee represents 10% of our earned annual income and allows us to care for and improve our collections. 

As a non-profit, we are thoughtful stewards of the funds we receive. Donations are put into action in a variety of ways. 

• A $50 gift can help purchase plant material for community gardens.
• A $100 donation can underwrite the expense of hosting a student intern.
• A $250 donation can subsidize a visit from 40 students.
• A $500 gift can underwrite a visit to a school where field trips are no longer provided.
• A gift of $1,000 can help maintain the necessary climate in our Sun Garden.

To learn more about including the Quad City Botanical Center in your estate plan, please contact Ryan Wille at 309.794.0991 ext. 206. Gifts of every size are welcome.
