An old log cabin is now a garden shedThe McGhee Foundation has begun the process of restoring the historic Farmer's Delight Plantation and preserving its exquisite arboretum and gardens, extensive library, and collections of papers and artifacts. As a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, the Foundation relies on a combination of memberships, private donations, and grants to fund its mission.

Despite these advances, a great deal of work remains to be done, and your kind contribution will help ensure that The McGhee Foundation is successful in its stewardship of this historic treasure and its rich heritage. We encourage you to become involved in the preservation of the plantation in whatever manner is most convenient for you.

Consider becoming a Friend of Farmer's Delight, which offers you the chance to truly get involved with the property and the Foundation.

If you prefer, an outright gift of money or stocks can be utilized to fund a specific project or supplement preservation projects in general. Because The McGhee Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, any such donation is tax-deductible to the extent of the law. Gifts of other assets such as artwork or jewelry must first be appraised before the value can be donated. However, please be advised that while the Foundation certainly welcomes such gifts, professional ethics prevent us from conducting such financial appraisals or even recommending a particular appraiser.

To make a donation by credit card, print and complete this form, which can be mailed or faxed to us; we also accept credit card donations by phone. We are working to add a secure payment feature to this website so that in the near future you can donate online using a credit card. Checks can be made payable to "The McGhee Foundation."
