This #GivingTuesday, join us to

MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE FOR THE EASTERN SIERRA!

Thank you for choosing to support Friends of the Inyo on this, our national Day of Giving!

Our fundraising goal this year is $6,000 to help with our general operations and to make the following happen in 2026:

  • Hire a full team of Trail Ambassadors to improve trails and educate visitors to public lands next summer.
  • Engage a full policy team to keep the heat on miners who hope to drill with little regard for wildlife, wilderness, and cultural values in Conglomerate Mesa, Centennial Flat, and Bodie Hills.
  • Expand our successful policy campaigns to protect groundwater in the Eastern Sierra.
  • Fight the ongoing attacks on federal public lands.

Ways you can give include:

  • Become a member or renew your membership – For just $35 a year, you can join FOI’s yearly membership to receive our Jeffrey Pine Journal publication, early access to Owens Lake Bird Festival tickets, a 10% discount code for our online store, and, most importantly, provide ongoing support to our mission. Simply press the ‘Donate Now’ button and select an amount of at least $35.
  • Turn an old car into cash for conservation – Donate your vehicle. Learn more here…
  • Legacy Gift – Add Friends of the Inyo to your will or trust to make your care for the Earth part of your legacy. Learn more here….
  • Donate via IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution or Donor Advised Fund – Did you know you there are potential tax benefits for donating from these accounts? Consult your tax advisor to see if this could be beneficial for your philanthropy.
  • Donate stock – Potentially save capital gains by donating stock directly to FOI. Consult your tax advisor and email info@friendsoftheinyo.org for more info.
  • Ask your employer to match your donation – It’s estimated that $4-7 billion in corporate matching gift funds go unclaimed each year. This is an easy way to make your donation go further.

THANK YOU for your ongoing support to protect and care for the land and water of the Eastern Sierra. We couldn’t do it without you!
