A MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP

“Your generosity directly impacts the future of Japanese gardens. Thanks to donor support, last year a scholarship recipient attended their first NAJGA conference, an experience that helped them secure a leadership role to elevate a major public garden. Your gift today fuels similar life-changing stories, ensuring these gardens and traditions continue to thrive. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.”

Donation FAQ

Are my donations tax deductible?

Yes! Your donation supports NAJGA’s mission and is typically tax-deductible. Be sure to save your receipt for tax purposes.

How do I know what my donations go to fund?

While most donations support NAJGA’s general fund, you can direct your gift to specific initiatives, such as:

  • Scholarships
  • Educational programming
  • Digital resources (including the website initiative)

To direct your gift, simply write your preferred purpose (for example, “website” or “scholarship fund”) in the comment box on the donation form. If you have questions about other options, please contact us.

Is it better to give a lot at once or a little over time?
Both make a difference!

  • Monthly donations provide sustained support, helping us plan ahead and grow our programs over time.
  • One-time gifts fund immediate needs and special initiatives, making an instant impact.

Whichever way you choose to give, your support directly strengthens Japanese gardens and the people who care for them.
