PNDRI accepts donated goods and services that otherwise would have to be purchased. Additionally, we are always looking for auction items for our signature event An Evening of Wine. If you have an auction item or other in kind gifts, please contact us. Examples of in kind gifts include:

  • Washington wine and other wine related items
  • Printing or design services
  • Gift certificates to restaurants, vacation rentals, plane tickets, etc
Memorial Gifts

With a gift to PNDRI you can create a lasting tribute in memory of a loved one, ensuring that the person's name is part of the legacy of cutting-edge research at PNDRI. Your gift will be acknowledged with a note sent to the family or friend of the person you wish to remember. A fund will be created in the person's name and will grow over time with each additional gift. When the fund reaches $2,500, the name for which the gift(s) are given will be permanently listed on the Donor Recognition Wall.

Employer Matching Gifts

You can multiply the impact of your gift if you are an employee or retiree of a business that matches gifts to qualified institutions. Please be sure to check with your company to see if you are eligible and, if so, complete a matching gift form.

Planned Gifts

Planned gifts are charitable contributions that require some forethought regarding not only the charitable aspects but also the financial implications for you and your family. Partners in Discovery honors those who notify PNDRI of their intention to make a planned gift; members are recognized on the Donor Recognition Wall and their names are published in the Honor Roll of Donors in the Annual Report.
