Walk with Us into a
Bright Future
|

Dear Conservation Friend,
We hope you are safe, well and making the most of an anything-but-usual summer. If there is any silver lining to it, maybe it is affording you the chance to stay local and savor the incredibly beautiful and scenic areas in our backyard.
The Conservation Federation has built a strong base from many decades of generous supporters, and we will weather this economic storm. Nevertheless, the storm is significant and could last a long time. Funds we bring in now will give us the advantage and stability to think ahead. Our Board of Directors and leadership team within CFM are engaged, energetic and thinking strategically in so many ways.
Therefore, we want to make what could be an unusual request. Might you consider making a gift to the Conservation Federation of Missouri now to ensure that we are able to carry out our critical mission during these trying times?
Thank you for giving this unusual request careful consideration. Please feel to contact our staff if you should have any questions.
Yours in Conservation,
Tyler Schwartze
Executive Director
