Give to the Paine

Make a donation to support the mission and programs of the Paine.

The Paine is a nonprofit organization that relies upon the generosity of people like you! An endowment provides approximately one-third of the Paine’s annual funding, and the remaining two-thirds is raised through donations and fees. The Paine relies upon a breadth of generous individuals and organizations to support the ongoing care and programs of the museum.

The Paine needs your help to fund the museum’s broad and vital scope of educational programs, art exhibitions, garden displays, and historic preservation. Gifts to the organization can be designated to support the Annual Fund, Education Fund, Garden Fund or other aspects of the Paine Art Center and Gardens.

Garden Fund

Gifts to the Garden Fund support the ongoing care and enhancement of the Paine’s extraordinary gardens. The Paine maintains over twenty garden areas with thousands of plant specimens for public learning, enjoyment, and inspiration. 

The Paine completed a new Formal Garden adjacent to the conservatory in the summer of 2017. A major investment to enhance the Paine estate, the Formal Garden also serves as an educational resource to inspire and teach people of all ages about the joy, practices and importance of gardening.

To support the Garden Fund, contact Annika Holland at (920) 235-6903 ext. 24 or aholland@thepaine.org. Gifts to the Garden Fund are fully tax-deductible.
