Donation Opportunities

For individuals interested in making a long-term difference in conservation in northern Michigan we offer the following very special giving opportunities. 

Land Patrons

Becoming a Land Patron gives you an easy way to make monthly or quarterly gifts to support land protection in northern Michigan as a convenient alternative to one large annual contribution. This reliable and continuing source of financial support allows HeadWaters to continue our vital conservation efforts, and reduces our fund raising expenses.

Becoming a Land Patron is easy and secure!

Sustainers Circle

Our Sustainers Circle is a very special group of people who are committed to the long-term goals of the Conservancy. Members of this group have pledged to contribute a minimum of $500 annually to support the operations of HeadWaters. The Sustainers Circle provides us with the kind of financial support that ensures current success and future stability. Sustainers Circle members have the option of donating their annual pledged amount in smaller monthly contributions. This especially easy if you use the "Donate Now" button on the left of this screen. Just follow the instructions under "Land Patron" above.
