Development

Our wonderful volunteer work of every description has been the engine driving our organization for years. But the ever-increasing cost of maintaining our three historic houses and grounds–plus the multitude of other activities we undertake or sponsor–require financial support considerably beyond the income generated by membership dues and rental property revenues.

Throughout this entire year we will embark upon an unprecedented development program in honor of the Society’s upcoming 70th anniversary. This presents a wonderful opportunity for RHS friends, supporters, and members to support our work in tangible ways, substantially beyond membership dues.

In addition to enhanced memberships and donations, RHS friends and supporters have arranged employers’ matching gifts. Moreover, philanthropic individuals and private foundations are also contributing.

If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to do so, please consider a gift now and/or include RHS in your estate planning.
