Donate to Purchase the Drew Forest
The ink is dry on a landmark agreement between Madison and Drew University to preserve an intact forest that is critical for aquifer recharge and remarkable for its biodiversity. The purchase terms include $5 million in individual and foundation funding, which must be quickly secured.
Dollar for Dollar Match
To help raise the requisite $5 million for the Forest’s purchase, generous donors have stepped up with a challenge. Any donation made—right now—will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to an aggregate of $2.5 million, so your gift will have double the impact. The value of corporate matching gifts and donations of stocks will be matched as well.

We’re not professional fundraisers. We’re ordinary citizens who believe that, with spirit and conviction, anything is possible. But the clock is ticking. We can’t save the Drew Forest without you.
