OSCEOLA-LAKE CONSERVATION DISTRICT

Corporate Donation Program

Dear Friends in Conservation:

The Board of Directors and staff of the Osceola-Lake Conservation District, would like to introduce our organization to yours. For 57 years the Osceola-Lake Conservation District has served the people of Osceola and the East half of Lake County. Served by assisting, informing, and educating on the wise use and management of our Natural Resources. However, due to the lack of funding for Districts we have been the best-kept secret in the state for all of those years. We would like to change that. We feel we have much to offer the citizens of our community. Enclosed are a few examples of some of our programs and services. In order for us to become the leader in Natural Resource awareness we need your help.

Here’s how you can help. We need financial support to keep our programs and services going. Our goal is to raise $30,000 per year, which will be used towards promoting the District through our quarterly newsletters, our website, and offering educational and informational workshops to the public, in addition to providing our existing programs and services.

We have developed a tiered acknowledgement system for corporate and organizational donors. It goes like this: all donors will be recognized in our quarterly newsletters and on our website and -
