Support the CNC
Our Mission: The Friends of the Cibolo Wilderness exists to promote the conservation of natural resources through education and stewardship.
The Cibolo Nature Center is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization. We are grateful for the generous support we receive from individuals, businesses, and foundations throughout the region. It is because of your support that we can carry out our mission.
YOU CAN HELP!
It's easy to give with our safe and secure online form. Your tax deductible gift provides essential funding for our education, research, and conservation initiatives. Your gift can provide scholarships for underprivileged youth to attend the Outdoor Classroom or to attend summer adventure nature or art camp. Any sized gift will help provide the necessary funding for free outdoor programs for families to spend time together playing and learning about nature. Your generosity can help support the important research conducted two times a year leading to a better understanding of the wildlife that uses this protected area as a habitat. You can contribute to the effort to maintain over four miles of trails and the four distinct ecosystems within the park that serve as the lift sustaining home to many birds and wildlife in the area.
We thank you for your gift. Together, we will protect and maintain the 162-acre wilderness for the enjoyment of everyone!
Circle of Friends (Annual Giving)
Join the group of friends who are dedicated to the protection and conservation of the hill country area. Your gift helps us provide education, research, entertainment and outdoor activities for tens of thousands of children and adults each year. Your donation will be used where it is needed most to ensure our educational programs, special events, trails, and park are here for you and the community for generations to come. In appreciation for your donation, we'll send you a complimentary annual membership to the CNC.
