Silver Leaf Stewards

Silver Leaf Stewards

One of the greatest satisfactions in making a charitable gift is the opportunity to honor your family or pay tribute to someone who has touched your life in a significant way.

The Silver Leaf Stewards program is the perfect way to do this. Through your gift, you may honor a relative or commemorate your family name, or you may recognize a mentor or friend who has greatly shaped your life. At the same time, your tax-deductible gift to Hoyt Arboretum Friends expresses your commitment to the future of Hoyt Arboretum and provides valuable support for a charitable purpose in which you or your loved one believes. As a steward, an engraved metal leaf plaque will be installed on a rock wall in the Arboretum and you will be listed as a member of the Silver Leaf Stewards program in recognition materials.

Become a Silver Leaf Steward and show your deep commitment to Hoyt Arboretum while you honor your loved ones and touch the lives of many others who enjoy Portland’s museum of living trees. Your gift supports the tree and plant collection fund and general operations. To learn more about becoming a Silver Leaf Steward, contact Ajah Maloney at 503.823.3655 or ajah@hoytarboretum.org.
