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 critical for aquifer recharge and remarkable for its biodiversity.

The terms include $5 million in private funding, which must be quickly secured. To make that happen, 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.

We’re grateful to the Community Foundation of New Jersey for serving as our fiscal partner.in this campaign.

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.

Friends of the Drew Forest is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) charitable organization and contributions are tax-deductible for income, gift, and estate taxes. Our EIN is 87-4488425.
