Make a Donation

Callaway Gardens is owned and operated by the non-profit, 501(c)3 Ida Cason Callaway Foundation. The Foundation depends on charitable gifts to continue its environmental mission of conservation, education, and land stewardship, as well as the expansion and improvement of the Gardens. Our supporters’ generous tax-deductible donations fund worthy endeavors such as:

• Annual field trips for nearly 30,000 school children
• The protection of endangered plants and animals
• Equipment and resources such as binoculars, microscopes, nature films, and books to help educate guests about sustaining our natural environment
• Caring for the raptors in our Birds of Prey Program (Ask about our Adopt-a-Raptor program)
• Maintaining the quality of our 13 lakes
• World-class educational exhibits and lectures  
• College internship program

Donors may give toward a specific need or give a general gift that will be used wherever it is most needed. In addition to special projects and specific equipment and supplies, funding is needed continually for daily operating expenses in the Gardens and its many attractions. Your financial support is one of many ways you can make a real difference in stewardship not only of Callaway Resort & Gardens, but of our precious planet. We can’t do it without you!
