Other Giving Opportunities

EarthShare
Earth Share of New Jersey was founded by New Jersey's leading environmental groups to economically raise funds for member organizations through collaborative fundraising in workplace giving campaigns.  Money is raised through payroll deduction programs in workplaces throughout the state.  All contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent provided by law.  www.earthsharenj.org

Corporate Matching Gifts
Many companies will match charitable gifts made by their employees.  You may be able to double (and sometimes triple) the impact of your contribution to The Land Conservancy of New Jersey by participating in your company’s Matching Gifts program.  This is also a tangible way to have your company to support our efforts to preserve New Jersey’s natural lands.

Simply obtain a form from your employer, complete the employee information, and mail the form to the Conservancy.  We will take care of the rest.
