Virtual Reception: The Mt. Tamalpais Florilegium

Click here to watch the recording of the Opening Reception

The Mt. Tamalpais Florilegium is an exhibition of paintings and drawings of the flora of Mt. Tamalpais created by members of the Northern California Society of Botanical Artists (NCalSBA). The collection will be expanded over the next few years and will eventually document a large sampling of the native flora growing on Mt. Tamalpais, including many of its rare and special status species. Our hope is that by showcasing the unique beauty of its flora, others will be inspired to learn more about our mountain and join us in our efforts to protect it.

Speakers will include:

Antonia Adezio, Marin Art and Garden Center Executive Director

Mary  Gilardi, artist

Kristin Jakob, artist

Kaye Herbranson, artist and NCALSBA Board President

Monica Stafford, One Tam Community Engagement Program Manager

Marin Art and Garden Center is pleased to present this exhibition, which will be open to the public in The Studio Fridays and Saturdays from 10 am to 4 pm, and Sundays from 12 to 4 pm; you will also be able to view and purchase the artwork any time online. This is the latest show of work from our partnership with the NCalSBA, following the highly successful Alcatraz Florilegium and Celebrating Silver exhibitions.

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.
