Partners in Preservation

As a Partners in Preservation Member, you become a part of a very special family of donors and community leaders that share in our mission and support our vision making the work we do possible through their annual giving.

For twenty years, the Deering Estate Foundation has dedicated its efforts to preserving, protecting, and enhancing the rich natural and historical resources of the Deering Estate at Cutler. As a community-based not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization, the Foundation has helped to establish environmental education programs, obtained grants and other funds to restore and enhance the historic buildings and grounds, seeded successful arts programs, and significantly raised public awareness of the Estate by presenting signature social events enjoyed by thousands.

We cordially invite you to join in our efforts and persevere with us as we marshal our efforts to achieve national recognition of this community treasure, while preserving and sustaining Florida’s natural habitats and rich history for future generations.
