DICK GRIFFITH MATCHING CHALLENGE is back!  November 1, 2018 through March 15, 2019, legendary adventurer Dick Griffith will match your donation to the Nature Center.  All gift amounts are appreciated.  Those who donate $500 or more will receive a giving tree leaf in your name or dedicated to someone special, plus a signed copy of CANYONS AND ICE: THE WILDERNESS TRAVELS OF DICK GRIFFITH by Kaylene Johnson.  Please make sure to write "Dick Griffith Challenge 2018-19" in the comment section of your donation form.  

 

GIVING STOCK which has been held more than 12 months may offer you considerable tax advantages. You may avoid paying capital-gains tax on the increase of your stock and receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift.  Please consult with your tax adviser to determine how, specifically, the charitable deduction will work for your unique tax situation. For further information on how you can donate gifts of stock or mutual funds to the Nature Center, please contact Asta Spurgis, Director.

Do you make a donation to your company’s UNITED WAYS WORKPLACE CAMPAIGN? Do you also make a contribution to the Nature Center? You could increase the total amount you give to charity, by designating the Nature Center as the recipient of a portion of your United Way contribution. Many companies will then match (or 50% of your total contribution) the total amount of your donation. This amount will go into the United Way general fund. The Nature Center receives your donation and your overall contribution to charity is increased. For more information, contact United Way or the Nature Center.
