Ways to Give
Giving at Farm & Wilderness
Since Farm & Wilderness was founded more than 75 years ago, over 25,000 young people have attended our Vermont summer camps, building a community of alumni, parents, staff and friends shaped by shared values we carry throughout our lives.
Thanks to the generous support of our community, Farm & Wilderness continues to thrive. Please consider making a gift in the following ways:
Annual Giving
Your generous Annual Fund gift today will sustain our Vermont summer camps and make a lasting impact in the lives of young people.
Annual giving supports Farm & Wilderness camp programs, our farm and our campership program, and gifts can be designated specifically for campership.
Farm & Wilderness is a 501(c)3 charitable organization (EIN: 03-0228965). Gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Campfire Circle Monthly Giving
What bonds campers together better than a warm campfire? Become a member of our Campfire Circle and make those warm memories possible for Farm & Wilderness campers when the summer comes around. Campfire Circle members make a monthly gift, providing steady, reliable support for Farm & Wilderness and making your annual commitment easier for you to budget.
With a gift of just $10, $20 or $30 a month, Campfire Circle members will help campers:
- grow the food they harvest to enjoy on their plates
- learn to use tools to build a work project they can take pride in, and
- gain confidence to climb, canoe and hike the mountains, rivers, and trails of Vermont and beyond
With a monthly gift of $50 to $100, you can put a transformative summer experience within reach for a camper in need.
“Farm & Wilderness is a huge part of my family’s identity. Thanks to monthly giving, I can afford to make a bigger gift to Farm & Wilderness.” – Deb Rosen (IB ’81-’82, TF ’83, Family Camp ‘11-12; parent IB and SAM)
Campfire Circle members receive advance notice of community events, a special annual gift from the F&W farm, and a warm feeling that you are doing your part for the F&W summer camp community.
