Funds will start an account for MDC volunteer support with one stipulation - MCHF must find matching funds before the monies can be used. Countless hours from volunteers who support programs for MDC such as Nature Centers, ranges, hunter education, and the master naturalist program allow MDC to provide many free programs and opportunities across the state to kids and adults alike. To show support of those volunteers who generously give of their time and talent, an account is being set up to provide further training opportunities to enhance the volunteer program. You may direct a donation to support this program by stipulating MDC Volunteer Support Fund when you donate either online or by check made payable to MCHF, PO Box 366, Jefferson City, MO 65102 . |

The Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation is a nonprofit, charitable organization founded in 1997 to help meet financial needs placed on natural resource conservation and conservation-related outdoor recreation.
The Foundation is separate from the Missouri Department of Conservation but supports that agency's mission of protecting the state's fish, forestry, and wildlife resources for all Missourians. We are governed by a volunteer board comprised of conservation, community, and business leaders. By working with Missouri Department of Conservation staff, who partner with conservation groups statewide, we fund projects that immediately address conservation and outdoor recreation needs. Since it was created in 1997, the Foundation has provided more than $11 million for conservation projects. The Foundation receives funding from several sources, including Conservation Heritage License Plate donations; private donations from individuals, businesses, and organizations; and payments to the Stream Stewardship Trust Fund.
The Foundation offers volunteer opportunities and a variety of conservation giving opportunities. If you would like to speak to a Foundation staff person for more information, call 1-800-227-1488. |
