The 150th anniversary of the Arnold Arboretum offers a unique opportunity to reinvigorate our mission and reimagine what it means to be a twenty-first century Arboretum. We have a bold vision centered around two goals: 

The Sesquicentennial Campaign will advance several transformative projects, including the boldest redesign of the landscape since Sargent and Olmsted, critical climate change infrastructure, and multi-year operational sustainability. Our long-term vision will require $35 million in philanthropic investment over the next five years. Gifts of all amounts from our broad community of support are essential to this effort. We hope you consider making a gift that is right for you to ensure our continued success and growth into the next century. 

Please contact Tanya M. Holton at tholton@fas.harvard.edu or 617.384.5043 to customize your participation to align with your philanthropic priorities and values. More detailed case statements for each element of our bold vision are available on request.
