Donate & Support Our Work
Nearby Nature works in neighborhoods impacted by high poverty and inequity...
In these neighborhoods, we are seeing the effects of trauma in our young people. Research shows that time outdoors can reduce stress and improve physical health. Environmental education can also introduce youth to green careers and inspire them to a lifetime of outdoor stewardship and recreation. We rely on contributions from people like you to keep our programs, projects and outings going. Even if you do not live in these neighborhoods, you can help make a difference. We are a 501c3 non-profit recognized by the IRS. If you are over 70 years of age, you can reduce your tax burden with a Qualified Charitable Distribution from and IRA. Contact us for more information. Checks should be made out to Nearby Nature Milwaukee Inc. We gratefully thank our foundation, corporate, individual, and organizational donors who are listed below.
