We have reached 73% of our goal!
Thanks to the generosity of our early donors, and particularly our lead donor, The Darien Foundation, we have reached 73% of our campaign's goal, raising $182,178 of our $250,000 target.
Even more exciting: The Riley Family Foundation,
which believes deeply in our work, has offered a $50,000 challenge grant to inspire the community to fund
the remaining balance. Please help us meet this challenge
by donating today so that we can begin planned renovations on schedule in June.
Every gift, no matter the size, brings us closer to raising
the final 27% and starting renovations. Thank you to
everyone who has already contributed and to those
inspired to give today.
Your support means the world to us.
Your contribution to the renovation will directly impact our animals’ lives, enrich our visitors’ experiences, and help us create
a space that fosters empathy for animals and inspires action to protect our natural world.
We are pleased to offer several naming opportunities and special recognition to Legacy League ($25,000) and Founders
Circle ($10,000) donors for our campaign to reimagine the beloved Animal Room. Donors may pay all gifts and
pledges over three years.
The Darien Nature Center acknowledges the significant financial support of The Darien Foundation, our Lead Donor ($50,000),
to fund our new owl enclosure, the architectural concepts for the reimagined Animal Room, and additional seed money to upgrade the remaining enclosures. We are grateful for their continued partnership.
