 |
| Photo by Laurel Fitts |
To better support and sustain our work in the Adirondacks,
we have launched a $20,000 Matching Fund Campaign to Sustain Excellence in Research
to continue quality expert programming on the key issues facing the region. We
have already raised $12,000 through gifts from generous donors and our Board of
Directors. We are asking our corporate partners, members and friends to
consider a matching gift toward our final goal. Contributions of any size are
appreciated, and will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling the impact. Please
consider a tax deductible donation with a credit card or by check
today.
Please, we need your help!
There has never been a greater need for science and research to inform
policies impacting the future of the Adirondacks! Thank you!
