Donate Towards Our $100K Community Contribution Campaign
On Giving Tuesday 2024, we’re kicking off our campaign to raise $100,000 as a community contribution towards preservation.
AltadenaWILD is participating in initial discussions with conservation organizations, tribal groups, and outdoor education groups to define a low-impact preservation plan for 78 acres along Chaney Trail in Altadena.
Your donation will help make a “community contribution” that demonstrates local support to State agencies and philanthropic foundations and helps leverage grant funds.
