Million reasons to raise a million campaign

In September 2025, we were challenged by a longtime donor to raise $1 million by April 30, 2026. Thanks to our community, we met and exceeded this extraordinary goal, unlocking a $2 million investment in nature-based science education!

To all our supporters, thank you for being part of this powerful moment. Together, we’re writing the next chapter of EV’s story – one rooted in community, connection, and care for the planet.

HERE’S WHAT YOUR GENEROUS GIFT WILL MAKE POSSIBLE:



Growing our Core Programs

Bringing hands-on nature science education to more K–5 classrooms and doubling student experiences to 40,000+ each year.



Keeping Our Field Trip Fund Thriving

Ensuring no child misses the chance to experience the wild and learn from it.



revitalizing the ecocenter

Transforming it into a vibrant Baylands hub, alive with family fun, community festivals, and hands-on science adventures all year long.



Expanding Our Volunteer Community & University Partnerships

So every school that asks for an EV program can be met with a joyful “yes!”

I still cherish my childhood field trips from more than 60 years ago – moments that first opened my eyes to the wonders of nature and shaped who I became. The most enduring lessons in life aren’t found in textbooks, but in the awe and discovery that nature inspires. Investing in EV is investing in those timeless lessons for generations to come.
