Donations to the Endowment Fund are used to insure that the Wildlife Education Center is adequately staffed and fully operational, which includes funding wildlife management activities.  See our Friends of Crex page for more information about the endowment fund.

Donations to the Land Acquisution Fund are used to purchase critical privately-owned lands within the Glacial Lake Grantsburg project boundaries.  The fund is designed to be a revolving source of money to acquire the land and hold it until the State of Wisconsin can buy it back from us. Upon repayment, we return the money to the fund and and it is ready for the next land conservation project. Dollar for dollar, the Land Acqusition Fund can protect numerous pieces of land from development.  It's the gift that keeps on giving.  See our Friends of Crex page for more information about the Land Acquisition Fund.
