Your Donation’s Impact
This summer we are working with the Rochester City School District to offer 1000 students nature-based learning and the opportunity to spend a day in the park. While we have a contract with the district to do this we need help making sure we have the funds to cover our early expenses. Any amount helps and we appreciate your support.
$10.00 covers the cost of materials for one student.
$30.00 supports one hour of at school lesson support from an nature-based learning educator.
$120.00 makes one hour of time in the park possible for a class.
$2400.00 makes an entire day of learning in the park possible for a grade.
Your Donation Helps Us Grow
Our Current Fundraising Priorities
Rochester Ecology Partners has reached an exciting stage in its growth where we have plenty of evidence our programs are wanted and working but we need help getting to the next stage in our organizational development. Your donation will help make the following possible:
1. Growing our staff. We have a lot of work to do and we have gone from a volunteer team to eight paid employees in just a short time. We need to further develop the staff we have and add new people to the team to expand our capacity to achieve our mission.

2. Developing our organizational operations. Our recent project to understand the challenges environmental organizations face revealed that many organizations need support with basic organizational needs. Rochester Ecology Partners is no different. As we grow we need to make sure we have the systems and infrastructure in place to maintain our organization.
3. Sustaining our nature-based learning and community-building programs. We have launched a number of initiatives that have been incredibly successful and we want to see them continue in the future. Grants only get us so far, we need community members and businesses to help us build programs that will serve our community in the long term.
