There are many ways to support the Mendon Foundation, and your contributions are
essential to secure and maintain green spaces in our communities for now and future
generations.
The Mendon Foundation is fully supported by financial donations. 100% of all
donations go directly to the Mendon Foundation. Funds are utilized to support the
organization with activities such as the procurement of materials, equipment, fuel and
signage, or the maintenance of those items.
It takes a dedicated team of volunteers to maintain our land trust properties and
the Lehigh Valley Trail. The Mendon Foundation has no paid employees. We have a
constant need for new volunteers with time and/or skills to join our team. We welcome
volunteers that can offer any amount of time or skill.
Scouts have played a major role over the years volunteering individually and/or as
patrols or troops. Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts), as well as Girl Scouts have
both contributed with scout projects for the Mendon Foundation.
The existing Mendon Foundation land trust properties were donated by individuals
that believed in the importance of green spaces in our communities. Our goal is to
continue growing our green space footprint so that natural habitat can be preserved,
and our communities can enjoy light recreation such as hiking, biking, bird watching,
cross country skiing, etc. in the beautiful outdoors. If you are an individual that considers
the preservation of green spaces important, or you are a builder / developer that is
looking to set aside green space, please contact us to discuss the possibility of a land
donation to the Mendon Foundation.
Purchasing Mendon Foundation merchandise can serve two benefits. Firstly, any profit
that Mendon Foundation receives goes directly to the organization to fulfill our mission.
Secondly, wearing a Mendon Foundation hat or shirt helps bring awareness to our
organization.
