The Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands is an independent nonprofit organization that manages Sunnylands, a historic 200-acre estate originally the winter home of ambassadors Walter and Leonore Annenberg. The non-profit company is based in Rancho Mirage, CA. Sunnylands serves as a retreat and venue for high-level convenings focused on fostering cooperation, civic engagement, and addressing societal challenges. The site includes the historic midcentury modern estate and the Sunnylands Center & Gardens, a 15-acre public cultural site with contemporary architecture, rotating art exhibitions, a café, a shop, and gardens featuring over 70 species of native and arid-adapted plants. The organization offers community programs such as cultural events, wellness activities, educational workshops, and virtual offerings, with an emphasis on accessibility, sustainability, and community engagement. The estate hosts invitation-only convenings for leaders from various sectors, while the Center & Gardens are open to the public with free admission and parking, except for certain ticketed estate tours.
