Planned Giving
What is the secret to making a gift that will provide the greatest meaning to you and Landmarks? Part of the answer lies in careful planning and good organization. The best plans are created by first deciding what your goals are and second, determining how to accomplish your goals.
Gift plans create opportunities for both Landmarks and our donors. Determining what gift is right for you is just as important as making the gift. There are many options from which you can choose. The correct plan for you balances what you wish to accomplish for yourself, your family, and your charitable interests in your overall estate and financial plans.
Learn about giving strategies that allow you to make a meaningful charitable gift while possibly enhancing your, and your family’s, future financial well being.

General Fund
The general fund is used to pay for the office management and support, insurance to run the organization.
Old St. Hilary’s
You can help fund maintenance and upgrades at Old St. Hilary’s. Landmarks is interested in building two new benches near the bell tower as well as below the parking area to take advantage of the view. Each year Landmarks does interior and exterior repair work on this iconic building. The parking lot is constantly needing to be patched as well. Surrounded by a rare wildflower preserve, Old St. Hilary’s overlooks downtown Tiburon and the San Francisco Bay, is constantly protecting this pristine space.
China Cabin
You can help fund the ongoing maintenance and final restoration of the Social Saloon of the S.S. China, was built in 1866. This property is constantly battered by the winter storms and each year needs significant work to fix the exterior wood panels, metal railings around the building, and outside varnishing of decks and benches. The interior gold leaf and walnut woodwork are carefully treated annually as well.
Tiburon Railroad-Ferry Depot Museum
Landmarks is trying to complete the museum in time for the 50th anniversary of the Landmarks Society. We still have 4 display exhibits to be completed, numerous models and structures to be built, as well as sponsoring upstairs museum rooms.
Art & Garden Center
Circa 1870, the cottage is the oldest structure on the Tiburon Peninsula. The delightful gardens and paths are maintained by master gardeners, based on the original design. Every year the garden is augmented with mulch and new plants to fill in holes as needed.
History Collections
The Archives are located in a controlled environment at the Boardwalk Shopping Center. The collection contains photographs, art, maps, documents, books, journals, oral histories and artifacts focusing on the history of the Rancho Corte Madera del Presidio, an 1838 Mexican land grant to John T. Reed and Ylaria Sanchez. We are constantly seeking new treasures in and out of the community. The cataloging and caring for these items is a constant challenge
