Gifts to Descanso Gardens are recognized in various ways. The Donor Wall, located in the courtyard, was constructed in 2002.

Recognition on the Donor Wall is one way Descanso can honor and show appreciation to those who, through cumulative giving since January 1995, give $10,000 or more to Descanso Gardens, Inc. Permanent recognition on the wall is listed by the giving level. To be listed as a member of the Legacy Society, written notice of intent to make a deferred gift of $10,000 or more must be received.

The Legacy Society has been created to give distinguished recognition to anyone who gives to the Gardens through bequests, estate plans or deferred giving. In this way we are able to give thanks now and include members of the Legacy Society in the Gardens special events and programs.

If you are interested in giving and recognition opportunities, Linda Mitchell, Director of Development, would be happy to discuss the many options available to you. She can be reached at (818) 952-4391.
