“Perhaps the thing is to sit quietly and give thanks for the endless gifts, for music, for the feel of a pen or a sheet of paper, for the light on the mountains, and for friends, those of you I know and those of you I will never know.”—James Hubbell
A Gift of Love
Fifteen years ago, the Hubbells entrusted their home, studios, and land as a gift to Ilan-Lael Foundation, becoming our first and most significant endowment donors. From that loving gesture, the world is now able to enjoy the Hubbells’ artistic legacy and Ilan-Lael for its life-changing projects and programs.
The true value of the Hubbells’ gift—a legacy of love that began with a couple, a family, and a vision of a more beautiful, humane and sustainable world—now grows more important with each passing year. If you share these values, we invite you to honor the vision and legacy of Jim and Anne Hubbell through the Ilan-Lael Endowment Fund in your estate planning with a pledge of support.
Whether it’s a gift of cash, IRAs, or real estate, your support provides necessary resources for programs like Pacific Rim Park and Healing The Healers, and for the care and keeping of a one-of-a-kind place, Ilan-Lael.
