Legacy Gifts

Bellingrath Gardens and Home began with a legacy gift.

Walter and Bessie Bellingrath wanted future generations to enjoy the beauty and elegance
of their historic estate.

Just like the Bellingraths, you can make your largest gift at the end of your life. You’ll be able to meet the financial needs of your family while showing your love of the Gardens, the region’s history, STEM education, art, nature, and lifelong learning. We have many opportunities for you to make a lasting impact for generations to come!

The simplest way to make a planned gift is to include a bequest in your will, but there are a variety of options, including naming Bellingrath as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or investment account. Your financial advisor can provide more information.

To discuss a possible planned gift to Bellingrath, please contact Cory Sparks, Ph.D. at [email protected] or (251) 873-1378.
