Marshall Webb

Marshall Webb Climate Action Fund

A co-founder of the nonprofit at Shelburne Farms, Marshall Webb worked for five decades at the farm until his untimely passing in 2022. Read about Marshall’s life. He was a passionate believer in the mission of Shelburne Farms, cherished its woodlands and trails, and led efforts towards achieving the goal of carbon negative status by 2028. The Marshall Webb Climate Action Fund will help Shelburne Farms achieve that goal.

Endowment Fund

An educational organization and historic property as extensive and complex as Shelburne Farms needs a significant endowment to assure its long-term sustainability.  Shelburne Farms current endowment is undersized for an organization with a $16M budget, and the endowment generates just 3% of the nonprofit’s annual operating revenue. Growing our endowment is critical to the Farm’s continued success. By making a special gift to the Endowment Fund, you ensure the continued success of Shelburne Farms and all of our programs educating for a sustainable future, now and for generations to come.  Thank you!

Marshall Woods

Marshall Woods celebrates Marshall Webb’s lifetime of turning “vision” into “action” and to further his legacy of protecting this special place and our planet.  The first planting of Marshall Woods was in Spring 2024 as a focal point of the transformation now underway at Shelburne Farms to become Net Zero by 2028 and to advance Climate Action Education. More plantings will be done over time. Your support helps us to maintain and add to Marshall Woods to ensure it thrives into the future.
