BGO Announces a Transformational Gift from Nancy (née Totemeier) & William D. Koch
We are thrilled to share that Nancy (née Totemeier) and William D. Koch have made a generous $220,000 gift to help launch two major capital projects that will expand BGO’s growing capacity and revitalize the Carl A. Totemeier Horticulture & Event Center. Their support honors the Totemeier family legacy while helping prepare the Garden for its next phase of growth.

P.S. If you are 70½ or older, gifts made by December 31 may qualify as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA—a simple, tax-advantaged way to make a lasting impact.

This season of giving is a powerful reminder that philanthropy shapes every corner of the Garden—from the plants we grow to the experiences we provide for more than 100,000 visitors each year. Your support today helps the Garden continue to thrive for generations to come.
