INTRODUCING THE 2024 CAYUGA LAKE COMMUNITY FUND
Dear Friends,
Your donations to the “Cayuga Lake Community Fund” help DCL ensure that everyone in our community has access to educational and recreational experiences on Cayuga Lake. The Fund, combined with eco-cruise revenue, provided over $70,000 in financial assistance for over 3000 students and interns, as well as free community-access programming for over 1500 community members, during 2023.
We are tremendously proud of these accomplishments, and grateful to our supportive community- but we know there is more to be done!
WE’VE SET OUR 2024 CAYUGA LAKE COMMUNITY FUND GOAL at:
$80,000.
At the bottom of this page, you will find a variety of ways to support the Community Fund, and every level of donation makes a difference! When you donate, you are not only supporting our work; you are affirming your relationship with the lakes and waterways that are so important to us all.
- Private donations from $10 to $10,000 will help us host students from every community in the Cayuga Lake Watershed, and many from beyond.
- Your individual or group donation of $3500 can sponsor an intern for the summer! (You can even meet your intern on the boat this summer!)
- We also offer a limit number of corporate sponsorships, great for community-minded local businesses.
I hope you can support our work this year, building the relationship between our region’s two most important resources- people and water. Spread the word!
