• Contributions to Knox County Master Gardeners support our work in our community to help it flourish and grow. All contributions are vital to our all volunteer 501(c)3 group and are re-invested into our community’s future, providing education, raised bed gardening plots, food, best horticultural practices, youth development and environmentally sustainable methodologies.

There are several ways you can donate to help us with our efforts:

• One Time Gift – This easy method of donation provides flexibility, efficiency and tax deductible benefits. Please use the One Time Gift section below.
• In Memoriam – Honor the memory of a loved one by making a meaningful contribution to our organization. Your donation will help support our ongoing gardening projects, educational programs, and community outreach efforts, ensuring a lasting impact in their name.Every gift made In Memoriam goes directly towards promoting sustainable gardening and environmental stewardship in our community. With your support, we continue to grow and inspire future generations.(To make an In Memoriam donation, please provide the name of the person you would like to recognize in the customer notes at checkout.)
• Other Planned Donations – These donations are made during a donor’s lifetime as part of one’s financial and estate planning.
• Bequest – A bequest can be a gift of a specific dollar amount, a particular asset (such as securities, or tangible personal property), or a percentage of your net estate. Life Insurance – You can name KCMG as a revocable primary beneficiary or as a policy owner on a new or existing life insurance policy. You continue to pay the premiums, but as contributions (equal to the premium) to the MG Legacy Fund.
• Retirement Plan – A qualified retirement plan or an Individual Retirement Account {IRA) can benefit the KCMG Fund. You pay no income tax on the contributed funds or on their growth in value; you only pay income tax when you withdraw the funds.
• Stocks and Securities – A gift of appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds that have been held more than one year is a popular alternative to donating cash, because you can save on taxes twice: by avoiding capital gain tax and through a charitable income tax deduction.

If you’d like your gift to be given anonymously, let us know in the Additional Information Notes during checkout. Once your gift is received, we will send you a confirmation email for your records.

Thank you for your support!
