You Can Help Preserve Mathews County Lands & Resources
As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, the Mathews Land Conservancy relies solely on private donations, grants and use fees for general operations as well as land acquisition, property maintenance and improvements and project construction and maintenance. No monies or local tax dollars are received from the County of Mathews.
Here are some ways you can help!
Purchase Conservation Artwork
You can help right now by purchasing any of the available artwork made by local artists. The proceeds go directly to the construction of our new boathouse at Williams Wharf. Items include numbered limited edition giclee prints, posters, colorful tiles and t-shirts. All commemorating the recently demolished boathouse that was used as the training center for the championship Mathews High School crew teams for the past 20 years. Click Here to View Artwork.
Become a “Friend” of MLC
Making a general or an annual gift of any amount is the best way you can save special places forever, for everyone.
Planned Giving
Create a lasting legacy for future generations by making a planned charitable gift to MLC.
- Bequests – leave a gift to MLC in your will.
- Insurance – name MCL as the owner of your life insurance policy.
- Real Estate/Personal Property – donate land, cars, boats, etc. to MLC.
- Cash and Securities – gifts to MLC, as a charity, can have significant tax benefits.
MLC Heritage Club
A growing number of people are making arrangements to support MLC in their estate. To recognize these tremendous contributions, we have established the MLC Heritage Club, a wonderful group of people who care deeply for Mathews County and the future of its natural and cultural heritage.
*If you are thinking of a planned gift, you should first consult with your family and lawyer or financial advisor.
In Memoriam
Honor the memory of a loved one or friend with a donation for Mathews County’s special places. When you make your gift, a beautiful card will be sent to the next of kin acknowledging your generous gift (if that is your wish), and we will send you a tax receipt for your donation.
Tribute Gifts
Celebrate a special time in someone’s life by remembering them with a gift to MLC. A card will be sent to the honorary person letting them know of your generous gift in their name and a tax receipt will be sent to you for your donation.
MLC Fund at the Mathews Community Foundation
Protecting special places in perpetuity requires financial resources that will last just as long. Help MLC build a solid foundation for the future with a donation to the Mathews Community Foundation.
How the Fund Works:
Making your donation of $1,000 or more to the MLC Fund within the Mathews Community Foundation is like giving a gift that will keep on giving. Once added to a fund, your money is invested and the MLC receives interest on the investment to use on current projects and operations as required. The principle is reinvested for future years, giving MLC the financial stability to make effective long-term plans for the stewardship of Mathews County’s special places.
