We have exciting news! We're absolutely thrilled to announce that, thanks to your support, we have exceeded our fundraising goal for Grow Hope - Restore Nature!
Thanks to your final surge of support, we not only met but surpassed our $60,000 goal. This incredible achievement wouldn't have been possible without each and every one of you.
If you did not get a chance to support Grow Hope, or you have more to give, we are still accepting contributions for next years’ field season. You can also hop on over to the Adopt-A-Bat Initiative to support our Bat Stewardship Program!
Grow Hope - Restore Nature
Have you ever walked through a vibrant meadow teeming with life? Sadly, these beautiful ecosystems are disappearing across the beautiful region. HAT is on a mission to bring them back, but we need your help.
Our innovative Grow Hope - Restore Nature initiative tackles two challenges at once:
> provides meaningful employment opportunities for young people
> restores critically endangered prairie-oak ecosystems
Max Mitchell, Habitat Restoration Coordinator
“This collaborative pilot project aims to provide skills-based employment with a Living Wage and much-needed stewardship of the disappearing meadows. It is in partnership with nonprofits and community groups that do not have the capacity to hire, train, and coordinate their own field crews.” Read more on the HAT blog here.
This unique program is making a real impact, but we can't do it without you.
With your generous donation, we can continue to:
Pay our crew a Living Wage: We ensure fair compensation so young people can focus on learning and making a difference.
Cover Training Costs: We provide comprehensive training in ecological restoration techniques, preparing them for future success in conservation careers.
Restore Endangered Eco-Cultural Landscapes: Your support helps ensure a future for these culturally and ecologically significant meadows across the region.
Here’s how your donation makes a difference:
1) CREATES MEANINGFUL WORK
2) RESTORES MEADOWS
3) PROMOTES COMMUNITY
