Endowments
Endowment funds are invested for the long-term. We have dozens of endowment funds at Matthaei-Nichols. You can designate the purpose of your endowment, and earnings from those investments will grow over time to fund your philanthropic priorities forever. You can create a new fund to support an area important to you, or you can make a gift to one of our existing endowment funds in support of:
- Bonsai & Penjing Garden
- Campus Farm
- Field study & research
- Gaffield Children’s Garden
- Great Lakes Gardens
- Heathdale
- Matthaei Botanical Gardens Trail
- Natural areas
- Nature education
- Peony Garden
- Student support
