SHOW YOUR BONSAI LOVE
This spring, we have a big goal of raising $28,000 to help care for the collection and ensure that our Museum remains free admission so that everyone in our community can visit. Will you consider giving a donation to Pacific Bonsai Museum?
Exciting news! Our Board and Staff have offered a matching challenge: donations will be matched dollar for dollar for the first $5,000, so you can rest assured that your gift will go far in sharing the beauty of bonsai. Will you give a gift of support today?
As a thank-you gift for every donation of $100 or more, we will send you a set of five high-quality, special-edition greeting cards featuring our elegant collection.
For those who donate a leadership gift of $1,000 or more, we’ll thank you with a delightful bouquet of flowers, arranged and delivered to your door! (Continental U.S. only, please.)
We believe that bonsai has the ability to bring people together and promote a deeper appreciation for art and nature. Thank you for considering supporting Pacific Bonsai Museum. Gifts of every amount are greatly appreciated, and needed, and will help ensure that our collection remains accessible for our entire community.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
