Support the American Daylily Society
Your generosity supports AHS programs, sustains our mission, and allows you to contribute to the fund that matters most to you.
Double Your Impact - Join Our Matching Gift Challenge Today!
An anonymous donor has pledged to match up to $200,000 in unrestricted contributions to the American Daylily Society—doubling the impact of your gift. Every dollar donated supports our mission through conferences, publications, marketing, daylily research, and more!
To qualify for the match, gifts must support general operations and be received by December 31, 2027. Our first goal is to raise $50,000 by the end of this year, so don’t wait to say, “I met the challenge!”
✨ $50 becomes $100
✨ $100 becomes $200
✨ $500 becomes $1,000
Help us continue our 80-year legacy by making your donation today!
Donations to the American Daylily Society are always appreciated. Donors may choose to support any of our worthy and active funds explained at the bottom of this page.
All checks should be made payable to the American Daylily Society regardless of the purpose of the donation. Memorial donors are requested to provide the name and address of survivor(s) if you wish the survivor(s) to be notified of your gift.
All donations are tax deductible. In December 1979, IRS issued a determination letter that recognized the American Daylily Society as exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions are deductible under section 170 of the code and we are qualified to receive tax deductible bequests, devises, transfers or gifts under sections 2055, 2106 or 2522 of the code.
If you prefer to mail a check, please contract our Endowments Chair at endowments@daylilies.org.

Choose how your donation supports the American Daylily Society
Donations to the American Daylily Society General Fund provide funds for operating expenses and may be designated for a particular expense.
This fund exists to help meet the costs of the acquisition and care of historical materials relevant to Hemerocallis, and to the American Daylily Society and its people and events. Such materials may include books, newspaper and magazine articles, records of the business of the Society itself, theses and dissertations, photographic or digital documents or collections of enduring value, or other pertinent items associated with daylilies or the American Daylily Society. Significantly, the fund allows for the purchase of specialized software and equipment needed, but not covered in the annual budget of the Archives and History Committee.
The William E. Monroe Endowment Fund Trust was established in 1989 as a permanent fund in which all donations are accrued to the fund as a permanent endowment and only the investment income may be used by the Society to offset Expenses.

House Scientific Studies Fund are used for American Daylily Society Board approved grants for graduate or undergraduate students or faculty/staff using daylilies (plant genus Hemerocallis) as experimental organisms in original research projects.
