ANCA creates spaces for nature center professionals to share resources, foster relationships, and learn about best practices. Your donation ensures that ANCA can provide the support that these professionals need to thrive in their mission-driven work. If you need help donating in any way, please call us at 435-787-8209.
Sustaining Leadership Program
A monthly donation is the most effective way to help ANCA deliver programs and services. Join the ANCA Sustaining Leadership Program by giving monthly!
Sustaining Leadership Program
The ANCA Sustaining Leadership Program is a community of monthly donors who support ANCA's mission and core values.These recurring contributions are beneficial for several reasons:
- Convenience: Recurring donations are scheduled as automatic payments from a credit/debit card or an ACH bank transfer, and you don't have to deal with one larger gift all at once.
- Impact: As a monthly donor, you can see the effects of your support over time — for as little as $10/month, you can make a significant difference in supporting ANCA’s mission.
- Efficiency: Regular contributions allow us to budget more effectively and focus on our mission, goals, and programs, including the ANCA Mentor Program, CONNECTS, Discussion Forums, Directions journal, Summits, Peer Consults, and the ANCA Job Board.
As part of the Sustaining Leadership Program, monthly donors receive unique communications throughout the year. In January, we send monthly donors a summary of their contributions for the previous year.
Other ways to give
In addition to the options above, we offer other ways to give:
Planned Giving Legacy Society
You can leave a long-lasting legacy by remembering ANCA with a gift from your estate. The ANCA Legacy Society is a program established by the ANCA Board of Directors to encourage members to leave planned (future) gifts to the organization. A planned gift is any major donation, made in lifetime or at death, as part of your overall financial and/or estate planning.
When a donor informs ANCA of a planned gift, or a gift is received, ANCA will honor the donor with membership in our legacy group, the ANCA Legacy Society. Unless otherwise designated by the donor, ANCA Legacy Society gifts will be used to secure ANCA’s financial future and be invested to build and maintain the ANCA Operational Reserve and the ANCA Endowment.

Nature Nerd Campaign
Embrace your inner Nature Nerd and support ANCA!
Since 2015, ANCA Donors have supported the Richard Haley Memorial Fund and the ANCA Operational Reserve through the ANCA Nature Nerd Campaign. With a contribution, donors may choose to receive a Nature Nerd pin to proudly display their support and their nature nerdiness. Each year’s pin is unique and a celebration of the ANCA Community.
Your $30 donation, along with all other Nature Nerd donations, will be invested in the ANCA Operational Reserve. This fund was established to provide ANCA with the financial resources necessary to operate during difficult financial times ensuring that we can continue to provide our members the support and resources they need.
And if you want to be extra nerdy and extra awesome, please consider increasing your donation. You will have the option of choosing Nature Nerd pins from previous years – they make fabulously nerdy gifts!
Past Years' Pins
Vehicle Donations
Donate your car, truck, motorcycle, RV, or boat, and we'll turn your vehicle into cash to support our mission. To do this we partner with CARS, a nonprofit that assists other nonprofits with vehicle donations.
Donating skips the costs and hassles associated with selling a car, like paying for advertising and insurance, or for car repairs to keep your car in running condition while you wait for a buyer. The donation comes at no cost to you. Once you've initiated your donation, CARS will reach out to you to arrange the pick-up of your vehicle. You'll receive an initial car donation receipt upon pick-up.
Vehicle donation pick-up is always free to you and most vehicles can be picked up within 24-72 hours. Once your vehicle is sold, we will provide you proper tax forms in time to file. You may qualify for a tax deduction.
