The center will allow the Conservancy to expand year-round programs, welcome new partners, pursue additional funding opportunities, and strengthen our ability to protect more land for future generations. It will also provide the community with a place to gather and connect. The proposed center would be available for meetings and events of other community organizations such as PIE as well as meetings of small island groups and clubs. Because of our incredible community, we have already have raised most of the down payment. Plus, we&rsquo;ve also secured financing for the remaining balance and are looking for the monthly donors to help make those payments.&nbsp; We&rsquo;re inviting you to join the Founding Stewards who are establishing this Center. Every Founding Steward will have the opportunity to be recognized in a meaningful and lasting way within the Conservancy Center and on the grounds. We&rsquo;ll provide several recognition options, and for those who prefer, anonymous giving is always welcome. One of the easiest ways to participate is through a monthly donation. You can choose an amount the works for you, whether that&rsquo;s $50 a month or $250 a month. Ideally we&rsquo;d like you to commit to 1-3 years but you can stop at anytime. We will keep you posted about the payment progress quarterly. Thank you for investing in the future of our islands. Prefer to give by Zelle? You may set up recurring donations to bocillaislands.

Your recurring support will help pay the remaining balance on the Conservation Center and build lasting financial capacity for conservation. The center will allow us to expand year-round programs, welcome new partners, pursue additional funding opportunities, and strengthen our ability to protect more land for future generations. We ask supporters to commit for at least three years, but you may adjust or stop your monthly donation at any time. Once the Conservation Center has been paid in full, we will let you know. At that time, you may choose to end your monthly gift or continue supporting the Conservancy each month. A one-time gift toward the initial purchase will also reduce the amount the Conservancy needs to finance.<a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/donate-to-the-conservation-center" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Make a One-Time Gift &gt;</a> Please note that if we are unable to complete the purchase of the property for any reason, we will contact you, stop future monthly payments, and return any donations already processed for this campaign.
