Support

Donate

As a private non-profit, we do not receive any ongoing state or federal financial support. Our success depends on the commitment and generosity of the many individuals, businesses and foundations who have helped bring Poplar Forest to this exciting new phase in our development.

We rely on the generous, tax-deductible contributions made by people like you in order to support educational exhibits and programs, further restore the landscape designs and architecture, and to ensure that Jefferson’s vision can be shared and enjoyed more widely, and more effectively, than ever before.

The Corporation for Jefferson’s Poplar Forest is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization registered in the US under EIN: 54-1258296.

Our mailing address is P.O. Box 419 Forest, VA 24551.
