Your Support Matters

Every gift counts, no matter the size.

Your contribution helps protect the lands and waters of the Indian River Lakes, supporting conservation, education, and stewardship efforts that benefit both nature and our community.

Please consider becoming a monthly donor. Monthly gifts are easy to set up, provide steady support we can count on, and allow us to plan for long-term conservation and community programs. Your consistent generosity helps ensure we can protect these natural spaces and create opportunities for people to connect with the outdoors year-round.

As a monthly donor, you'll receive exclusive updates on our conservation efforts, invitations to special events, and the satisfaction of knowing you're making an impact every month.

donate real estate to Indian River Lakes Conservancy

We chose to provide a gift of real estate because we believe in Indian River Lakes Conservancy’s mission.

The world is in such chaos globally, so the best way we know to help us all to create a more sane and sustainable society is to support strong, visionary local organizations. We trust them to protect the local watershed for generations to come.
