WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE BECAUSE OF YOU
Thank you for your interest in supporting the Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy. It’s through generous contributions of our members that our restoration, education and advocacy work are possible.
WAYS TO GIVE
Annual one-time membership gifts support our ongoing operations. Please consider making an additional contribution when you renew or join. Membership dues, while essential, cover only fifteen percent of our annual expenses. Memberships purchased on or after September 1st apply to the following calendar year. Memberships run on a calendar year basis. To pay by check, print this membership form. Mail the check and form to PO Box 628242, Middleton, WI 53562.
It takes a whole city, including the local businesses, to support the Conservancy. If your business is interested in sponsoring specific events, please reach out to us at office@pheasantbranch.org and we will work together to customize a sponsorship package that fits your budget and goals.
Make a designated gift in someone's memory or honor
Gifts in someone’s memory or honor are a wonderful way to celebrate a person who has enriched your life or your community. We will send a letter to the honoree or their family notifying them of your gift.
