Corporate Philanthropy Program

Whether your philanthropic goals include environmental conservation, STEM, community outreach to underserved communities, or preservation of cultural resources, the GTM Research Reserve can help you achieve them.

A contribution or grant from your organization can help fund inclusivity initiatives that bring families to the Reserve, or can help provide needed equipment for research. When you support the Friends, you are partnering with the people who are doing the critical work you believe in.

Corporate philanthropy contributions are fully tax-deductible and can be customized to meet your goals.
