Support for Discover Cayuga Lake

Donations, Volunteering,
& Fundraising

NOVEMBER 2024

WE’RE CLOSING IN ON OUR 2024 FUND-RAISING GOAL!

Dear Friends,

Your donations to the Cayuga Lake Community Fund in 2024 have already helped DCL provide Floating Classroom programs for 1,200 local students and free community access cruise programs for 1,500 of your friends and neighbors around the lake!

We are tremendously proud of these accomplishments, and grateful to our supportive community – but we still need your help to meet our fundraising goal!

DCL’s 2024 CAYUGA LAKE COMMUNITY FUND GOAL = $60,000

During this holiday season, we are placing special emphasis on a great GIVING OPPORTUNITY.  You can adopt a Trout in the Classroom aquarium at a school in your neighborhood, for a $250 donation!   Learn More Here!

 

If sponsoring a trout aquarium is not for you, you’ll find other ways to support DCL, and information about our regional impact, at the bottom of the page.  

  • Every private donation, from $10 to $10,000, makes a difference and affirms your personal relationship with the lakes and waterways that are so important to us all. 
  • Your individual or group donation of $3,500 can sponsor a paid internship for an entire summer.  (You can even meet your intern on the boat!)
  • We also offer a limit number of corporate sponsorships, great for community-minded local businesses.

I hope you can support our work this year, cultivating the relationship between our region’s two most important resources – people and water.  Spread the word!

Bill Foster, Executive Director, DCL
