Earth Day - Chesapeake Bay Trust Skip to main content

Empower Our Local Heroes this Earth Month through the Chesapeake Bay Trust

This Earth Day, we’re celebrating the everyday heroes who are driving change right in our own communities. These are the teachers, volunteers, community leaders, and environmental advocates who show up, take action, and lead the change toward a sustainable future. They are the heartbeat of every project funded by the Chesapeake Bay Trust, and their efforts are making a lasting impact.
Your Donation Provides the Necessary Resources and Funds to Equip our On-The-Ground Grantees
When you contribute to the Chesapeake Bay Trust this Earth Month, you are helping us push forward and expand our reach, supporting the everyday heroes across the region who have visionary restoration projects to protect their local natural resources—but may lack access to the necessary tools and funds to bring those ideas to life. Your gift to the Bay Trust directly fuels this movement.

Other Ways to Give: Donor-Advised Fund

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a type of giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support your favorite charities. An increasingly popular charitable vehicle, DAFs are an excellent way to both simplify your charitable giving and facilitate your strategic philanthropic goals.
