Transition to Seattle Botanic Gardens

As the Arboretum Foundation and UW Botanic Gardens come together in 2026 as a new organization—Seattle Botanic Gardens—giving will look a little different. For Arboretum Foundation donors, it will mean starting to use the new name: Seattle Botanic Gardens. Our tax ID# and mailing address will remain the same. For donors to UW Botanic Gardens, giving will shift from the University of Washington to Seattle Botanic Gardens, a registered 501c3 non-profit.
