FUND A NEED DONATION

Thank you for your interest in learning more about how your Fund A Need donation can make a water-quality difference for Green Lake.

​

For the past 70 years, the GLA has been lighting the way on behalf of a cleaner, healthier Green Lake. Stream restoration, land management best-practices, and the monitoring and removal of invasive species are at the core of our work, and are often referred to as our “Pillar Projects.” A gift directed to Project Clean Streams, Project Green Acres, or Project Invader Defense allows us to continue and to expand these core efforts.

​

Protecting, improving, and ultimately restoring Green Lake is a complex, critical, and ever-changing endeavor. In order to ensure that we have the organizational resources to support needed research, development, and innovative solutions to care for our beloved lake, we have established the option to direct your gift to “Greatest Need.”

​

Regardless of how you choose to designate your gift – whether to a Pillar Project or to Greatest Need - please know that your generosity is crucial to ensuring that we continue our work on behalf of Green Lake.

Illustrations of how your gift can make a difference:

• A $100 donation can send future farmers to learn more about innovative conservation practices that help keep phosphorus on the land and out of the water.

• A $1,000 donation can help the GLA & partners remove 25% of the annual amount of invasive carp in Big Green, helping protect water quality and sensitive nutrient filtering wetland habitats

• A $5,000 donation can allow the GLA to supply 100 acres of cover crops to a Green Lake watershed farmer, decreasing nutrient-packed runoff.

• A $15,000 donation can help restore 1,000 feet of eroding stream banks. With 10 miles in urgent need of repair, stream restoration can help prevent weed and algae fueling phosphorus from reaching Big Green.
