Donate to Minnesota Master Naturalist

Through the University of Minnesota Foundation, the Minnesota Master Naturalist fund was established with a generous donation from a trained volunteer, and other volunteers and stakeholders have continued to support the fund.  

Each year we participate in a yearly fundraising campaign in the fall.  We will ask for donations on or around Give To The Max Day.  Please plan to make a donation at that time if you are able!  Your donations are appreciated!  

 

Contributions to the Minnesota Master Naturalist will benefit the program by providing:

• Scholarships for classes and annual conference and biome courses
• The best possible speakers for annual conference and advanced training
• Program support for instructor and advanced training opportunities
• Other programming needs

You can support the program in a variety of ways:

• Annual  Giving -- via secure giving site or mail
• Sustaining Gifts -- Sustaining gifts are an easy and efficient way for you to support the programs you rely on through secure, automatic monthly payments from your credit card, debit card or bank account. This means we'll deduct your designated contribution to Minnesota Master Naturalist from your account until you let us know to stop or change it.
• Planned Giving— Our programs need financial assistance from people like you to continue their work.  By making bequests and other "planned gifts," you can continue to help the Minnesota Master Naturalist program make an important difference throughout our state.

• Estate Planning- Rembember to include Minnesota Master Naturalist in your estate planning.  For more information, contact Ryan Thibodeau at Thibo016@umn.edu
