In the designation field on the DAF request form, please indicate that you wish to renew your Filoli membership, and include your name and member number (if known).

For full tax deductibility, donors must waive tangible benefits. Please speak with your tax advisor regarding any questions you have about your DAF grant.

Please contact the membership office at membership@filoli.org to waive these benefits when you purchase or renew your membership. Please speak with your tax advisor regarding any questions you have.
Does my membership include tickets to "Holidays at Filoli"?Most membership levels do not include free general admission to our holiday season (mid November through early January). Filoli members receive a 20% discount on all general admission tickets to Holidays at Filoli , as well as access to the member pre-sale in fall.
The only membership levels that receive free admission to Holidays at Filoli are Circle, Community Family, and Family for All levels. If you would like more information about these levels, please contact the membership office at membership@filoli.org .
When member tickets are sold out, can I still attend Filoli for free?No. We are lucky to have over 23,000 members, and we cannot accommodate all members every day. Our parking lot has limited space and we want to make sure the visit experience is pleasant for everyone. If we allowed members to reserve all available tickets, we would become a members-only organization, and that is not our mission. Filoli relies on the revenue received from ticket sales as well as membership dues, so we need to make space for purchased tickets every day. We are always striving to find the balance and give as many members as possible the opportunity to visit, and that's why we've added Members Only Mornings. The peak visitation occurs during the weekends of March and April, so we ask all visitors, including our members, to book tickets in advance.
