Volcan Mountain Foundation

The Sustaining Friends of Volcan Mountain is a group of ardent supporters and champions of the mission of the Volcan Mountain Foundation (VMF) that was initiated in 2012.  Members help the VMF Board of Directors shape the vision and goals, and their annual gifts provide consistent support to sustain the operations of the Foundation.

Volcan Mountain Foundation
The mission of the Volcan Mountain Foundation is to strive with intention to conserve and acquire land and practice respectful stewardship through education, public outreach, and resource management to preserve the Volcan Mountain range in its natural state for future generations.

With over 17,000 acres added for preservation since 1988, VMF has worked to protect the watershed and incredibly biodiverse wildlife and wildlands of the Volcan Mountain range, while increasing nature education, public outreach and advocacy for our natural resources.

Sustaining Friends Annual Events
At the planning gathering for the Sustaining Friends group in the fall of 2012, long-time supporters of the organization came together to share their vision of how a supporting friends group might look….what it might offer…and how supporters might be involved.  There was a consensus that the group should gather twice annually.

• The Spring Exploration Day is an opportunity for Sustaining Friends to discover hidden gems on and around the Volcan Mountain range and learn about the range up close.

• The Fall Visioning Day is an opportunity for Sustaining Friends to share and discuss progress, accomplishments, future projects and goals.

Sustaining Friends Benefits Card
The Benefits Card program is one way we honor Sustaining Friends' ongoing support of VMF.

Present your personalized Sustaining Friends Benefits Card to a growing list of area VMF Business Partners.  Each partner has designed a discount or other offer designed exclusively for Sustaining Friends of Volcan Mountain.  You’ll find a variety of restaurants, merchants, accommodations and services represented on the list found here.

Also look for VMF Business Partner window decals in shops around town!

Sustaining Friends Financial Support
As a Sustaining Friends of Volcan Mountain, you are asked to support VMF with a commitment to:

• make an annual gift to VMF of $600 per person ($1,200 per couple)
• support and advise the VMF Board of Directors and attend Sustaining Friends annual events as you are able
• be a spokesperson and advocate for protecting Volcan Mountain

VMF features a handful of special giving opportunities during the year, like at the Dinner Dance, or for special projects, and occasionally a matching challenge or capital campaign. We welcome, encourage and appreciate you giving generously to any VMF giving opportunity! Sustaining Friends gifts are a distinct income stream for VMF, and your gifts for other giving opportunities are accounted for separately from your annual giving commitment to the Sustaining Friends of Volcan Mountain.

Your donations of any amount can be debited automatically from your bank card account on a monthly or quarterly schedule.  Change your preferences at any time.  Contact the office for more information or enroll in this program during checkout.
