A NEW $5,000 match challenge! Last opportunity to double your impact

Now, we are deeply grateful to share that Michael Williamson and Mary Ann Doll have issued an new $5,000 challenge gift to encourage final gifts to the Campaign and help bring us to our goal.

We have already received a generous gift toward this challenge from Foundation member, Richard Hansen, and hope you will consider making a gift to support the heart of our mission today. 

Your donation made before October 31 will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $5,000 thanks to the generous challenge gift!

“Donating to Foundation’s Bluffs to Great Lakes Campaign was an easy choice for us.  Some of our best memories have been on the banks of an improved trout stream, or on a hike through restored prairie, or on an NRF Field Trip in the black of night howling with wolves.  The Foundation makes that possible for us and for scores of others through its work.  Please join us in supporting the Foundation’s efforts to protect and enhance the wondrous landscape we have, and the species who live there, by making a gift that will have a lasting impact on Wisconsin.”

Michael Williamson, Foundation Board Member, and his wife Mary Ann Doll.

Your gift to the Bluffs to Great Lake Shores Campaign will sustain nature’s gifts for generation to come

Wisconsin is home to natural communities of regional, national, and even global importance.

Your gift to the Bluffs to Great Lake Shores Campaign will allow us to continue supporting the lands and waters you cherish though our Field Trips, grant programs, and outreach.
