“We are helping create something much needed toda­y—a place of art, nature and beauty that will change the world.”

—James Hubbell

Tribute gifts are a popular way to make a thoughtful gift recognizing a friend or family member or cause while demonstrating support for the Ilan-Lael Foundation. In response to each gift, a personalized James Hubbell card (or email) will be sent to your honoree or his or her family, notifying them of your gift. Make a donation in honor of, or in memory of a loved one or special life event like the birth of a child, graduation or birthday.
