Watershed's 40th Campaign Lead Donors
Our Lead Donors have already made a big splash in Watershed’s 40th Anniversary Capacity Building Campaign! So far, we have raised over $390,000 to help further our mission through projects and education.
Thank you, Community Foundation of the Ozarks, Hatch Foundation, HDR, Ted and Bonnie Tabor, and Peterson Wealth Advisors, for making clean water for your community a top priority!
Funding in Action:
With the support of our lead donors, we installed an EZ Dock at Fellows Lake in September, 2023. This allows people of all abilities to enjoy recreation on the water! Peterson Wealth Advisors gifted $25,000 toward the dock, and the Hatch Foundation provided a $300,000 gift to support our programs, which was partially allocated to its installation.
The Hatch Foundation generously donated $300,000 to be used as matching funds in support of our programs and kick off our 40th Anniversary. With Hatch’s help, we purchased two new trucks and a trailer for our Watershed Conservation Corps projects in the region!
In November of 2023, we received a $45,555 grant from the HDR Foundation to acquire a Gothic-style greenhouse for installation at our new Watershed Natives nursery near the City’s Yard-waste recycle center. The greenhouse will ensure we can provide plants such as aquatic species year-round!
