Because of you, our work continues to protect the waters you love.
From groundwater to the tap — and every lake, river, and stream in between — your generosity keeps Northern Michigan’s waters healthy and thriving.
As we close out the year, your support will provide the resources needed to educate, advocate, restore, and protect the clean waters that define our region and sustain its economy.
Here’s how your gift can make a difference:
$100 Provides a free school tour at the Watershed Discovery Center, sparking curiosity and stewardship in the next generation.
$250 Monitors water quality at one site across our service area.
$500 Plants native vegetation in a community rain garden to reduce runoff and protect wildlife.
$1,000 Funds scientific water quality monitoring on a local lake or stream.
$5,000: Supports a full year of hands-on environmental education for local students.
$10,000: Feed the fish in the Watershed Discovery Center for a full year.
Every gift, no matter the size, helps protect the waters that make Northern Michigan so special.
Northern Michigan’s waters are yours to protect—give today, and keep them safe for tomorrow.
If you’re 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA to Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). A QCD counts toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) and may reduce your taxable income, all while protecting the lakes, rivers, and streams you love. It’s a simple, powerful way to make a difference before year-end. To get started, contact your IRA custodian and provide the following information:
