          Your financial gift supports the programs and trails you love.  Here are some special ways to give:

          That Nature Center volunteers and staff are working hard behind the scenes this summer to make renovations to the facilities and trails.  Some projects require mostly labor, but others require "a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow".  Our goals include:  renovation of the exterior of the building;  renovation and enlargement of the back deck; and renovation of the Salmon Viewing Deck.  These projects will cost the Nature Center upwards of $125,000.  We hope that you can help us by contributing to our BUILDING FUND.  To make a contribution use the secure form below and write "Building Fund" in the comments section.  We will keep a running list of contributors who will receive special recognition.  For details please feel free to email Director Asta Spurgis.  

           
          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.

          You can also donate your old vehicle to us through the non-profit CARS group.  They pick your vehicle up, provide you with your tax deductible information and you select Friends of Eagle River Nature Center to receive a portion of the money that is made after they sell your vehicle.  It's a win-win for everyone.
