Leave a Lasting Legacy
The Living Legacy Campaign offers meaningful opportunities to honor your family, celebrate a loved one, or demonstrate your commitment to environmental education and conservation.
Through naming opportunities and donor recognition, your generosity can become a lasting part of Rye Nature Center, helping create welcoming spaces where generations of children, families, and community members can learn, explore, and connect with nature.
Naming opportunities are available at a range of giving levels, and gifts of $15,000 or more will be recognized as part of the Living Legacy Circle. Campaign commitments may be fulfilled through multiyear pledges.
Be Part of the Legacy
Join this historic moment as we redevelop our Nature Center for a sustainable future. Make a gift in your name, your company or family foundation’s name, or in honor of a loved one’s memory. Your generous support of this campaign will be recognized for years to come.
