Annual operational support is what keeps small nonprofits like ours serving the community. As programs grow, site visitation increases, and costs of living continue to rise, we are ensuring that we invest in our organization, site, programs, and team to ensure they thrive and serve our neighbors. Your annual support is what makes this programming and site management possible, and it is imperative that we are able to continue to offer these programs and maintain the site as we enter the next phase of Bluff Lake.
Here are just a few of the lesser known ways that Bluff Lake annually invests your donations back into our organization to ensure sustainability for our site and team...
$20,000 for employee professional development and conferences
$1,500 on employee CPR and Medical Administration Certifications
$4,000 on mileage reimbursements for employees traveling to schools, meetings, and other offsite locations
$23,000 on onsite waste disposal (trash and porta potties)
To encourage operational support and challenge our giving community this year, we have a donor who is matching all gifts over $100, up to $20,000! Take advantage of this opportunity to double the impact of your donation.
Your annual operational gift shows that you value what Bluff Lake does on a day-to-day basis, whether that is free field trips for Title I schools, site restoration to clear invasive species, water testing to understand the impact of our actions on our rivers and lakes, community partner programming to make nature accessible for all, and career-building opportunities for young adults. This gift reflects what Bluff Lake means to you and your family.
