There are two main ways people choose to support the National Garden Scheme. The first is a fixed sum of money and the second is a share of your estate after all other payments have been made. Many people prefer the latter as it means the gift will remain proportional with the rest of their estate over time.

We are very grateful for the generosity of everyone who remembers us in their will, regardless of the type or size of gift they leave. The most important thing is that the gift is right for you, and fits with your broader plans.

Most charitable gifts are free of Inheritance Tax. In some instances, leaving a gift can even reduce or eliminate the tax your estate has to pay. To find out more please visit: https://www.gov.uk/inheritance-tax

The advantage of an unrestricted donation is that it will allow us to put your gift to the best possible use at the time we receive it, whenever that might be. However, if you are interested in supporting a specific area of our work, please contact us to discuss what might be possible.
