Support & Acknowledgements

Broad community support for the new Flora has been critical to its success. Project costs totalled slightly over $500,000 for content production (revising treatments and keys, acquisition of new illustrations), editing, layout and printing. All funding were raised from external sources including philanthropic foundations, gifts from private individuals, and federal or state agency support. Interested individuals and entities are encourage to contact us or make an online donation through the Burke Museum web site (100% of your donation goes to support the Flora).


We express our deepest gratitude for the individuals, agencies, and organizations who helped support development of the Flora. Thank you for believing in us, sharing our enthusiasm, and ultimately making this work possible!
