About FANNY DWIGHT CLARK MEMORIAL GARDEN INC

Fanny Dwight Clark Memorial Garden, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports and stewards Clark Botanic Garden, a 12-acre living museum and public garden in the Albertson/Roslyn Heights area. The organization operates as an independent foundation that raises funds, organizes educational programs, and partners with the Town of North Hempstead to maintain and protect the garden. In recent years the foundation has continued public programming (lecture series, seasonal plant sales and workshops), advanced site improvements and conservation initiatives, and maintained financial stability: its most recent Form 990 filings show operating revenues in the range of approximately $196k (FY 2024) and net assets above $1.15M, reflecting continued fundraising, program income, and investment activity. The foundation and the Town also hold an historical conservation easement to protect the garden in perpetuity and have pursued projects such as a proposed sensory garden and other accessibility and educational enhancements (activities and planning referenced in 2023–2024 local town records and program materials).
