MAKING AN EXTRAORDINARY IMPACT
The Golden Crane Recognition Society is made of donors who give a total of $1,500 or more annually through membership dues, tribute gifts, general donations, in-kind donations, and more. These gifts ensure Portland Japanese Garden’s immediate and long-term vitality. Recognition in this society indicates the extraordinary impact these contributions have on the Garden’s holistic operations.
Golden Crane Recognition Society Levels
