Day of Giving - Tuesday, May 18 - Farm & Wilderness

Written by Farm & Wilderness | May 15, 2021

 

Double your gift on Tuesday, May 18 during our Day of Giving.

We are pleased to announce that we have a dollar-for-dollar match, thanks to the generosity of several supporters, for the first $25,000 in donations!

Additionally, each person who gives $50 or more will receive this special bandana featuring F&W’s re-imagined Values, so hurry to receive yours before supplies run out.

This fundraising effort will launch our Annual Spring Appeal and our goal is to raise $200,000 for our Recovery Fund. This fund is helping Farm & Wilderness regain its footing after closing camp last year due to the pandemic. Your support helps us build toward a stronger future!

Give Here!

Donations for F&W’s Recovery Fund will help with more than $200,000 in COVID-related expenses in 2021, such as:

• COVID testing (our single biggest expense) for campers and staff, handwashing stations, tents for meals, cleaning and disinfecting supplies, and other items to keep our campers and staff safe and healthy.
• Increased compensation for seasonal staff, recognizing the additional expectations and responsibilities they will take on and the requirement that they remain at their camp even on days off
• Additional benefits for camp staff like day-off staff meals, access to electricity and internet (just for this year!), and expanded day-off space to recharge

We are eager for a strong start to our Summer 2021!

Thank you in advance for all of your support!
