Knitting at the Garden – Winter 2025

Come to the cozy Cottage to share your projects with Chiaki Hayashi and other experienced knitters.

This class is designed as an informal gathering where you decide what you’ll work on, while getting the professional support & guidance that you need. Whether it’s navigating a new project, or learning a new technique – it’s up to you and Chiaki will be there to help!

It will be a supportive & creative space inspired by fellow knitters, with the peaceful garden as your backdrop.

  • Knitting at the Garden is not a drop-in session, pre-registration is required.
  • You will need to bring your own project/materials to class.
  • There is a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 10 participants per session.
  • If you would like to be on the waiting list for a session that is full, please email Chiaki with the session you would like to join. She will let you know if a spot opens up.
  • Cancellation Policy: Refunds will not be issued within 7 days of the session date if you cancel your registration. If you cancel more than 7 days before the session, you will be charged a $10 cancellation fee (withheld from your refund).
Sign up here!

Unless otherwise noted, online registration closes two days before the event date.

A transaction fee will be added to your total, to offset registration costs to us as a non-profit.

IRS Guidelines for Gifts from Donor Advised Funds to Support MAGC Events

Thank you for your interest in giving to the Marin Art & Garden Center events from your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) or Family Foundation.

We sincerely appreciate your generosity and support!

To ensure your gift follows the current IRS guidelines for DAF/Family Foundation support of an event, we would like to share the below guidelines with you.

  • Raffle tickets, tickets to galas and other special events, auction items, and benefits conferred in connection with a DAF/foundation grant are not permitted.
    • IRS has specifically ruled that fair market value associated with fundraising events cannot be separated, a practice known as “bifurcation.”
      • For example, with Edible Garden, if the price of the ticket is $200 and the FMV fair market value (non-tax-deductible amount) is designated to be $50, the donor must pay from sources other than her DAF/foundation for the full value of the ticket ($200) and not just for the non-tax-deductible amount ($50).
    • We recommend you confer with your financial advisor to confirm if any of these examples of how donors may still use their DAF to support an event would work for you:
      • A donor could sponsor the event, and not attend, and pay fully out of the DAF/foundation.
      • A donor could sponsor the event using DAF/foundation funds and attend by purchasing an individual ticket through non-DAF/foundation funds.
      • A donor could sponsor the event, join the event as a guest of another donor/table guest, and pay fully out of the DAF/foundation.
      • A donor could sponsor the event and host the afforded number of people at their chosen level as long as they pay for the seats at the lowest ticket price ($200 for Edible Garden) outside of their DAF.
        • As an example, a $1,500 sponsor that covers 2 guests, could pay for their sponsorship with $400 from a different source of funds, and then give an additional gift of $1,100 out of their DAF.
