SUPPORTING THE EDWARDS AQUIFER AUTHORITY

Ewald Kubota in Selma, Texas, generously donated agricultural equipment rental services to the Field Research Park.

When a person makes a contribution of any kind, it causes a ripple effect. And much like what happens when you throw a peddle into a pond, these gifts or actions can have a large positive impact which in turn can make a bigger impact (or ripple) and so forth and so on. Contributions of rain help the Edwards Aquifer to flow and contributions of time, talent, and treasures help it to flourish. Below are just a couple of ways you can make an initial ripple and contribute to the EAC: 1. One-Time Donation through Champions for Charity – a no-cost program that gives 100% of the funds raised back to the participating organizations, plus incentives including a 7% match. 2. Recurring Gift – easily set up an automatic donation of a specific amount on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. 3. Text BoxMatching Gifts Through Your Employer – ask your employer if they offer a matching gift program which are donations a company makes to match its employees’ charitable contributions. 4. Sponsorships – support any of our upcoming signature events in 2023 including our first annual Night of a Thousand Drops gala to be held May 13, 2023. 5. Volunteering – share your time and expertise out at our Education Outreach Center or Field Research Park with beautification projects or by helping out at on-site events. 6. Amazon Smile – for eligible purchases through AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price to the EAC when you select us from the list of charitable organizations. A great way to contribute when doing your online holiday shopping! 7. In-Kind Donations – we welcome any non-monetary gift including goods, services, and/or the transfer of assets.
