Klehm Arboretum & Botanic Garden 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 1984 25th Anniversary 2014 Rockford s Largest Public Garden & Living Museum
Looking Back, Moving Forward Dear Friends of Klehm, We are pleased to present to you our 2014 Annual Report. For all of us at Klehm Arboretum & Botanic Garden, 2014 was a year of growth and engagement. The Plant-a-Row garden harvested one ton of fresh produce, all donated to the Rock River Valley Food Pantry. Through generous gifts we were able to initiate the renovation of the Sensory and Demonstration Gardens with redesigned garden areas and a new observation deck on the Clarcor Pavilion. As we celebrate Klehm s 25 th Anniversary, we must think about our founders and the foresight they had for the future and the direction of the Arboretum. They were charged, as we are now, with the stewardship, growth, and Dan viability Riggs of this wonderful place they so ingeniously conceived, Executive developed, Director and nurtured. These visionaries have included directors, staff, and many volunteers, all contributing their ideas, energy, and passion for Klehm and their visions for the arboretum collections and gardens of tomorrow. Along with the Board of Directors, we extend our sincere appreciation to the individuals, corporations, foundations, and the Forest Preserves of Winnebago County that provided generous funding and support for Klehm s ongoing operations and endowment. With their help, we have successfully established a solid foundation for our community s next generation of visionaries. Warm regards, Stephanie Jacobs President Dan Riggs Executive Director Klehm Arboretum & Botanic Garden Klehm Arboretum & Botanic Garden

The goal of Klehm Arboretum Foundation is to endow one million dollars through the acceptance of donations and legacy gifts via trusts, wills, and other legal documents. Since its inception, the Bur Oak Endowment Fund has grown to approximately 300,000 with the help of The Community Foundation of Northern Illinois, generous donors and participation in two Carroll H. Starr Endowment Challenges. The second of the Carroll H. Starr Endowment Challenge campaigns (2013) yielded 30,714 in charitable donations earning a 10,000 grant from the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois. The Bur Oak Fund is held and managed by The Community Foundation of Northern Illinois. An endowment gift permanently restricts the principal of the gift. A distribution of the earnings are made annually to support general operations, programs or campaigns.
