Beautifying Maybury Farm Beautifying Maybury Farm Form

Beginning in the Spring and running through the summer we offer "Beautification" opportunities at the Farm.  They include:

• Flowers - Donations of $50 will be used for the planting of flowers at the entrance of Maybury Farm and on the patio.
• Paver Stones - If you have visited Maybury Farm you have noticed the beautiful patio that was built for us by Global Gardens.  The pavers used were used specifically so people could donate to the farm by purchasing a paver.  Pavers come in two sizes; small 6'x 8' (donation - $250 and have a 2 line 15 character limit per line) and 12?x12? (donation $350 and have a 3 line 20 character limit per line).  These pavers make wonderful birthday, anniversary, memorial, or just-because gifts.
• Picnic Table Donors - As Maybury Farm increases in its programming we have more and more need for picnic tables. If you would like to sponsor a picnic table for a $1,500 donation a plaque will be placed on the table with your desired inscription (limited to 12 characters and spaces 3 lines).
• Buy A Board - Maybury Farm is continually in need of lumber. It is used to replace boards, build pastures, build lean-to's, repair pens, repair wagons, rebuild wagons, etc. We would also like to add an addition to our Welcome Center.  Your donation of $250 for boards will greatly help with all of the above items. Your family name will also be placed on a plaque that will hang permanently at Maybury Farm. A great GIFT idea!

Never Miss a Chance to Endow

• Durability
  A continued flow of charitable financial support is important to donors. The fund is professionally invested taking into consideration the importance of growth.
• A Giving Legacy
  Creating an endowment creates a legacy that will endure for years. Family and friends will be reminded of the person's values and commitments. Endowment funds can also be used to honor others who have impacted them and the community.
• Perpetuate Annual Gifts
  An endowment can create an "annual gift". It is a way to keep giving and supporting the community for many generations. There is no maximum level for an endowed fund, and it may be increased at any time. Others may also add to the endowment fund.
• Personal Satisfaction
  To have your name on an endowment fund that will benefit others carries personal satisfaction.
• Provide Flexibility
  When endowments are contributed toward general use, they provide flexibility for NCF to utilize funds as needed. This is extremely important as programs and needs change.  Beyond the satisfaction of helping your community, there are additional benefits that result from contributing to the community foundation.  Contributions are deductible under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service tax code.  Gifts of appreciated securities and real estate donated to the foundation create an even larger deduction for the donor as well as much larger gift for the Foundation.
