WAYS TO SPONSOR THE BRITISH MEMORIAL GARDEN
Levels of giving and limited opportunities
The British Memorial Garden grew out of the tragedy of the World Trade Centre and is a gift to the people and city of New York. The Garden is anchored at the south end by the sculpture to unity by Anish Kapoor, celebrating the friendship uniting the United Kingdom and the United States.
Within the Garden is a memorial fence line honoring the 67 British victims of the World Trade Center attacks.
Sponsors of the Garden become a charter life member of the Trust, receiving quarterly newsletters and updates as well as invitations to all events. All supporters of the Garden will be recognized in the official “Record of Donors,” a bound historical record of the Garden at Hanover Square. Recognition within the Garden is made for contribution in excess of $50,000. Founder level contributors will also be noted on all literature and stationery.
Your donor level is determined by aggregating your past and future gifts.
There are several ways to give to specific items within the Garden. Opportunities remain in all categories but for the Bollards which are fully subscribed. All contributions will go towards the development and building of the Garden.
