Put Your Mark on The Wilderness Center

Endowing a Chair
Endowing a “chair” sounds silly. It is not really a chair, but a person. These highly generous gifts provide an employee to carry on the mission of the Center. The endowment supports salary and benefits. The employee’s job title is transformed from “Naturalist” into “The John Doe Naturalist.” In all the employee’s future contacts and in all the Center’s literature, you will be remembered for this generous gift. |
