Progress on ACEER's Challenge Grant

WE HAVE MET THE INITIAL CHALLENGE!  In 2007, the Windhover Foundation made a major challenge grant to the ACEER.  The challenge was simple:  raise $250,000 and Windhover would match it with another $250,000.  In addition, the Windhover Foundation offered ACEER an additional $100,000 if we raised the $250,000 by March 1, 2008 and secured an additional $100,000 by July 1, 2008.  Thanks to the hard work of ACEER Board members and staff, and the very generous contributions of individuals, institutions and corporations around the world that understand the critical importance of the good work of the ACEER, we have raised the initial $250,000!   We now have until July, 2008 to raise an additional $100,000 to meet Windhover’s second challenge.  This means ACEER could realize a grand total of $700,000 in new funds critical to our rainforest conservation mission!  WON’T YOU HELP?

The match requires that all donations come from new donors to the ACEER. Donations of $2,500 or more are eligible for the match.  Would you like to help with a smaller gift?  Thanks to a partnership with the West Chester University Foundation, smaller gifts can be made eligible for the match.   Contact Marguerite Gould at 610-738-0477 for more information on how to participate in this challenge grant.
