    Lillian was born and raised in Mill Valley and is an award-winning floral designer who began her journey in New York, where she received formal training not only in design but also in the botanical knowledge essential to mastering floral artistry. Her expertise encompasses understanding the plants she works with, knowing how to care for them after they’re cut, and maximizing their beauty in every arrangement. She trained at Brooklyn’s renowned Zuzu’s, a prestigious flower shop founded in 1971 by Fonda Sara. Zuzu’s, a female-owned and operated business, was recently honored by the State of New York and added to the NY State Historical Business Preservation Registry. While at Zuzu’s, Lillian designed both for individual clients and large-scale weddings across the tri-state area. Currently, she serves as both buyer and lead designer at Mill Valley Flowers, another award-winning, female-owned flower shop. Lillian continues to create stunning designs, blending her deep botanical knowledge with a keen eye for beauty, ensuring every arrangement is a masterpiece.

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.
