Volunteers - please consider requesting support for the VLMP from your lake community

Request for Support Letter
Ask your lake association to make an annual donation to the VLMP. To help you make the request, we’ve drafted a letter that you can present to your association. The letter was included in the spring mailing packet that you recently received or you can click on the link above. The recent Lakeside Notes article can also be used to make your case, if you wish. If there’s anything that we can do to help with this, please feel free to contact us.

Annual Giving
Although volunteers are not charged a fee for training and technical support, and most VLMP publications are available to the public at no cost, financial contributions to the program, by individual supporters like you, are critical to meeting our mission of monitoring and protecting Maine's lakes. The VLMP has a reputation for stretching its financial resources to maximize the program benefits to as many individuals and lakes as possible. Your tax-deductible contribution to the VLMP is used in the following ways:

To purchase monitoring equipment for all volunteers

To increase the number of water quality and invasive aquatic plant training workshops throughout Maine

To provide all volunteer monitors with critically important technical support

To provide outreach support to lake associations, watershed communities and municipal officials throughout Maine

To plan and implement “lake-friendly” water quality conservation practices on the grounds of the Woodbury Brackett Environmental Center – Maine’s only “Lakes Campus”.

To develop and launch new programs in response to emerging needs.

Please consider making an annual donation to the VLMP. You may designate the way in which you would like your contribution to be used. Your generosity will directly benefit Maine’s clean, clear lakes and ponds.

Memorials
You can honor the lake-lover in your life by giving a gift to sustain the protection and stewardship of Maine’s lakes. Your tax-deductible contribution in honor or in memory of your loved ones helps us sustain our work to protect Maine’s lakes into the future.

Planned Giving and Bequests
