TNP Fundraising Campaign

October 15-17, 2024

Thanks to our dedicated supporters who have embraced our purpose and believed in our mission, TNP has achieved many great things since 2010. Due to our success, the Tennessee Naturalist Program has reached an exciting yet challenging milestone – we have outgrown our capacity to be managed by an all-volunteer board of directors. 

TNP must hire a full-time Operations Manager starting in 2025. Meeting this need will be a critical turning point in the continued growth and wellbeing of TNP. 

To continue providing an excellent program to future naturalists, we need your help. TNP is launching a 3-day fundraising campaign from October 15-17, 2024. Our goal is to raise $10,000 so we can unlock a full matching gift of $10,000. Please note that early donations still qualify for the matching gift.

We greatly appreciate any donation you can give. TNP does not receive any outside funding from grants, sponsors, or subsidies; we are completely self-supporting. Your support is crucial in our mission. Donations can be made by credit/debit card, PayPal, or check. Please make checks payable to “Tennessee Naturalist Program" and send to the address below.

Testimonials

Since 2010, the Tennessee Naturalist Program has touched the lives of thousands of naturalists across the state - maybe even yours! We have met all types of people with all types of stories, from a college student who discovered a love for wildlife, to a parent who decided to take their family on more outdoor adventures, to a retiree who started volunteering at their state park, all because of TNP. 

From testimonials, we know the Tennessee Naturalist Program makes a strong and lasting impression. We encourage you to read through these testimonials from our students and chapter coordinators to better understand how TNP positively impacts the lives of individuals, communities, naturalist organizations, and of course, the natural world.
