RFOV’s Major Gifts Program
About
RFOV’s Sustaining Stewards Program includes donors who generously contribute annual gifts of $2,500 or more. To become a Sustaining Steward, donors may make a single large gift or multiple smaller gifts throughout the course of the year.
The Sustaining Stewards Program elevates RFOV’s mission and furthers its vision of public lands stewardship.
Sustaining Stewards are key partners in RFOV’s mission and in furthering the vision of a vibrant stewardship culture where people of all backgrounds come together to conserve our shared outdoors. Your generous support advances RFOV’s strategic plan, helps us achieve key capacity-building goals and ensures the organization’s long-term financial resilience.
