Corporate and foundation giving opportunities include underwriting general program expenses, educational materials and student transportation.

The Arboretum Foundation proudly presents Arbor Eden, the annual Northwest Flower & Garden Show Preview Gala, a very special event offering many opportunities for corporate sponsorship and participation.

Arboretum Anew

Arboretum Anew is a 20-year vision and framework to comprehensively restore and expand Arboretum plant collections, improve the visitor experience and ensure resources for future operation and growth.

The next phase of Arboretum Anew includes restoration of the Arboretum's south-end entry, creation of five eco-geographic gardens, renovation of an historic rockery, an interpretive shelter, additional parking and modernization of irrigation systems. The four-year, $6 million Pacific Connections Campaign to support the project is in its early stages. The Arboretum Foundation is currently discussing leadership giving opportunities with individual and institutional donors.
