For more than 70 years, it is people who have shaped Descanso Gardens through both their time and generosity. The good that people do in the world can live on through careful estate planning that includes Descanso Gardens as a beneficiary. There are many options for leaving a legacy gift to Descanso while ensuring you can provide for your family.
For more information about gift planning options, please contact the Advancement Office at 818.952.4391 or development@descansogardens.org.
Legacy Society
The Legacy Society was formed in order to offer our thanks to people who have notified us of their decision to include Descanso in their will or estate. Recognition for members of the Legacy Society is provided by inclusion, as a special category, in the Descanso donor-recognition display located in the Courtyard.
