WAYS TO SUPPORT

Established in 1838, The Green-Wood Cemetery is recognized as one of the world’s most beautiful and storied cemeteries. The Green-Wood Historic Fund, a 501c3 non-profit, was established by the Cemetery in 1999 to manage public and educational programs, champion environmental initiatives, bolster restoration, preserve the archives and collections, and engage the Cemetery’s hundreds of thousands of annual visitors. We rely on your support to make this work possible!  

Make a gift to Green-Wood’s Annual Fund to direct your support to the urgent projects that need it most.
