CONTRIBUTIONS: Sponsorships and Pavers

Contributions in any amount will help achieve the mission of The Outdoor Campus-West to provide outdoor education experiences to youth and adults throughout western South Dakota. Donations are suitable for memorials, to honor someone, as part of a charitable giving or advertising program, or to communicate your support for outdoor education. All donors will be listed in the South Dakota Parks and Wildlife Foundation's 2011 or 2012 Annual Reports and the 2011 dedication program for the Campus.

Major Donors: Donors of $10,000 or more have opportunities for sponsorships of key elements of the Campus and additional recognition. Donors of $5,000 - $9,000 will be listed as contributors to the Education Fund. All these Donors will be given recognition and visibility for the life of the Campus. Here is a list of remaining sponsorship opportunities. The Education Fund will accept gifts of any size at any time. You can also read more about the Campus.
