Double the impact of your gift

Athens Conservancy announces a matching opportunity that will accelerate the impact of donors’ gifts. Every donation made to our Bluebell Fund will be matched dollar for dollar, thanks to a generous private gift that makes this match possible. The Bluebell Fund is a mission-centered resource supporting the core efforts of the Conservancy, from land acquisition and preservation to land management, outreach and education, community events and guided hikes, and more. The match also applies to any donation that is not restricted to a particular use.

Here’s how it works. Now through Dec. 31, 2024, or while resources last, all donations will be matched $1 for every $1 donation made. That means a $100 donation becomes a $200 donation. A $1,000 donation becomes a $2,000 donation.

Matching funds available total $50,000.

“This is an unprecedented opportunity for individuals to double their impact and boost efforts to conserve land and protect beautiful natural spaces in the Athens County area,” says Donna Goodman, president of the board of directors. “We are thrilled to offer this match to donors, and are deeply grateful for the gift that makes it possible.”

Donations may be made online at AthensConservancy.org/donate or by mail by sending a check to Athens Conservancy, PO Box 2281, Athens, OH 45701.
