The collection furthers the garden's exempt purpose as it supports our mission to engage in research in plant sciences to expand human knowledge of plants, and disseminating the results to science professionals and the general public. ENDOWMENT FUNDS PART V - LINE 4 THE GARDEN'S ENDOWMENTS CONSIST OF VARIOUS INDIVIDUAL FUNDS ESTABLISHED FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES. ITS ENDOWMENT INCLUDES BOTH DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

A VERY SMALL PORTION OF OUR PERMANENT ENDOWMENT IS FOR THE PURPOSES OF CHILDREN'S EDUCATION. THE REMAINING BALANCE IS a BOARD DESIGNATED ENDOWMENT, WHICH HAS BEEN DESIGNATED FOR OPERATING GROWTH AND SUPPORT. TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS ARE SUBJECT TO DONOR-IMPOSED STIPULATIONS THAT MAY OR WILL BE MET EITHER BY ACTIONS OF THE GARDEN AND/OR THE PASSAGE OF TIME.
