How to help

We are not funded by government. As an all-volunteer nonprofit organization, our success depends on the generosity, energy, skills and talents of members and donors, volunteers, public and private foundation grants, community organizations like the Croton Lions Club and Troop 28 Boy Scouts and in-kind gifts from local businesses. In the private sector, our success comes thanks to creative professionals who design and host our events include graphic designers, photographers, film producers, concert musicians, garden lecturers, and landscape designers.

Our past, present and future depend on the faith and confidence of our supporters.

Here’s how YOU can help:
