To those of you who have contributed to our annual fund-raising campaign this month, I thank you. We will use those funds to help fulfill our mission, “to promote the understanding and conservation of the natural resources of the region through scientific research, educational opportunities and outreach.” 

Did you think you might donate, but didn’t quite get to it? There is still time to get tax benefits for this year! Let me make it really easy. Click on this link and with a credit card you can be done in three minutes:

 

 

Remember that contributions to the ERC have an added tax benefit for Indiana residents – along with the usual tax benefits for charitable giving on federal returns, Indiana tax payers are eligible for a 50% tax credit for gifts up to $400 on joint returns or $200 on individual returns. Awesome.

Happy new year!

Bruce Kingsbury, Director
