Become a Mianus River Gorge Champion

Join a legacy of conservation. Inspire others to give. Protect what you love.

“Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.”
–John Muir

Why Become an MRG Champion?

When you make a gift to the MRG Champions Matching Fund by October 31, 2025, you earn a leadership role in protecting the Mianus River Gorge—and you inspire others to follow your lead.

Your contribution helps build a fund that will match year-end gifts, motivating more people to give and doubling the impact of their generosity. And in turn, their year-end gifts match yours, multiplying your impact.

MRG Champions:

• Believe in protecting wild spaces and the beauty that nourishes us all
• Know it’s critical to train future scientists and stewards of the land
• Love the Gorge and want to see it thrive for generations
• Want to multiply the power of giving by motivating others to contribute
• Will make a gift now that becomes part of our year-end Matching Fund

Your Early Gift Will:

• Build a $150,000+ Matching Fund
• DOUBLE donations made by others during our year-end campaign (Nov 15 –Dec 31)
• Preserve and protect irreplaceable land, wildlife, and water
• Invest in education, research, and future conservation leaders

Our Goal:

$150,000 in early gifts by October 31, 2025
Your leadership gift will match—and be matched—doubling the impact for all.
