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 $25,000 to help with our general operations or to make the following happen in 2025:

  • 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 native cultural values in Conglomerate Mesa, Centennial Flat, and Panamint Valley.
  • Expand our successful policy campaigns to protect groundwater in the Eastern Sierra.
  • Ensure that renewable energy projects are not developed in culturally and ecologically important areas and prioritize rooftop solar and development in previously disturbed areas.

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, and most importantly provide ongoing support to our mission. Just press the Donate Now button and select an amount of at least $35.
