Become a Monthly Donor today!

We're off to a great start - 16 donors have helped us raise $3,001 so far. Thank You!

As you’ve most likely heard, the city is preparing to make major cuts to Portland Parks and Recreation’s budget and Leach Botanical Garden will be directly affected. For the past 15+ years the Garden has received pass through funding of various amounts from Portland Parks & Recreation to support our general operations. Currently all funding for Leach has been eliminated from the Mayor's final proposed budget which is set to be voted on during a June 18th city council meeting.

Our commitment to being a reliable community resource remains strong in spite of this significant financial challenge.

It’s crucial that we raise $20,000 by the end of June 2025. It’s a sizable goal, but we have amazing news - every dollar you give will be matched! Thanks to a generous anonymous donor, we will double our amount raised.
