Donations
Golden State Bonsai Federation Collection at The Huntington is always looking to upgrade our
collection. One way is to ensure each tree is in the best possible pot. We are always looking for
quality pots; they can be new or used, but not cracked or chipped. Your donated pot(s) will
allow us to upgrade our collection without incurring the additional cost of purchasing pots.
Indoor display stands of all sizes are also needed.
The Huntington has a collection of books on bonsai used for research by The Huntington staff.
We are in need of additional material for the bonsai library to ensure it is as complete as
possible.
Of course cash donations are always gratefully accepted. All cash donations go directly into the
Golden State Bonsai Federation general fund and are used for the collection.
Your donated items will help GSBF Collection reduce/eliminate expenditures on pots, stands
and books. Donations will allow us to fund our endowment to the maximum each year from
funds generated by the Bonsai‐A‐Thon. The endowment will be used to fund a full time bonsai
curator.
If you are downsizing, need a tax deduction, moving, or just want to get rid of your pots (that
are NOT cracked or chipped), indoor display stands or bonsai books, consider donating them to
the GSBF Huntington Collection.
In the case of duplicates, or an overstock, the excess pots, display stands and books will be held
for later use or sold/auctioned at GSBF Huntington Collection events with all proceeds going to
the GSBF Collection general fund.
If you have any questions, or wish to donate a pot(s), display stand(s) or bonsai book(s); please
contact us by using the contact form. All donations will be accepted.
