Your Support Makes a Difference
Shelburne Farms is an education nonprofit on a mission to inspire and cultivate learning for a sustainable future. Our work seeks to create the space, spark the conversations, and share the stories to inspire educators, students, and learners of all ages to build a better future for everyone. When you support Shelburne Farms, you help make these transformative learning experiences possible. We hope you’ll consider joining the 4,600 donors who support us each year by making a gift today.
Give a Gift Membership
In addition to your own support, you can share the magic of Shelburne Farms by giving someone special a membership, valid for a full year of memories. We’ll send them a letter (with membership cards) telling them of your thoughtful gift, or we can send it to you to give it to them directly.
Memorial and Honorary Gifts
We welcome you to make a gift in memory of a loved one, or to honor a living person on a special occasion such as a special birthday, wedding, or holiday. We’ll send notification to the recipient or family members telling them of your thoughtful gift.
Gift of Joy and Learning
Brighten a child’s life and inspire young people to shape a just and healthy world. For birthdays, holidays, or any occasion, consider giving the Gift of Joy & Learning — a special contribution to support the Children’s Farmyard and our programs that educate for a sustainable future. Make a contribution and you’ll receive a beautiful gift card that you may personalize and send to your friend or loved one.
