Getting Involved
How Can I Help?
Every year, we give thousands of children and adults eye-opening, memory-making outdoor experiences. These experiences are made possible through the generosity of people like you. No matter the size of gift, your time, your expertise, or simply just telling your friends about us, YOU are making it possible for us to carry out our mission and continue to thrive as a community asset.
At Columbia Springs, there are several ways you can help us foster a greater awareness of the natural world and inspire stewardship.
Supporting Us
Give the Gift of…
Wonder
By donating to Columbia Springs, your gift allows us to spark the inquisitive minds of children that may not otherwise have access to nature or nature programs. Children who acquire an appreciation for the natural world are more likely to become STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) leaders of our community. You can spark imagination by donating here.
Investment
At Columbia Springs, we make it easy to donate your appreciated stock through instructions found here. Transferring stock to Columbia Springs also has great tax benefits as well! To learn more, contact our Development Team.
Exploration
Columbia Springs welcomes donations of land, subject to our real estate guidelines. For more information on donating your land to Columbia Springs, please contact our Development Team.
Partnership
Partnering with Corporate and Small Businesses, not only bring value to Columbia Springs, but also to our partners. Community event sponsorships and corporate partnerships increase your visibility in our community while allowing Columbia Springs to continue its mission. Learn more about corporate sponsorships by contacting our Development Team.
Camaraderie
Talk to your employer about matching gift programs that may be available to you. Many employers encourage staff to make charitable gifts that they will match, doubling your gift and your impact. For businesses looking for charitable organizations to be part of their charitable matching programs, please contact our Development Team.
