Individuals who donate $1,200 or more to Cincinnati Nature Center enjoy membership in the Krippendorf Society. In return for their generosity, these members enjoy special access and exclusive experiences.

Support at this level provides crucial funding for education programs, conservation efforts, outreach programs that enrich our community, and critical resources to maintain and protect our 1,800 acres of land and 20 miles of hiking trails.

Honor, Remember, Connect to Nature

Donating in someone’s honor or memory is a heartfelt way to celebrate a beloved person or commemorate a special occasion. At Cincinnati Nature Center, we have three different ways you can pay tribute and make a meaningful impact at the same time.

Cincinnati Nature Center needs shining lights like you. We’re looking for inspired people to step up and support us with a recurring monthly gift. Because our work of protecting nature and inspiring conservation is more crucial than ever.

Monthly giving allows you to designate a specific amount, from $5 to $100, to be automatically charged to your credit card each month.

When you become a monthly donor, you’ll be a part of something powerful as we continue to maintain award-winning hiking trails, provide inspiring nature experiences for all, and protect the beauty and biodiversity of this land. Your monthly gift will provide the steadfast support we need to carry out our mission.

Be proud knowing that you’re doing your part for nature, all year round.

If at any time you wish to cancel, please contact gifts@cincynature.org or call (513) 774-1921.

Since 1967, Cincinnati Nature Center has connected people to nature through outdoor recreation, education, and conservation. Thanks to the generosity of planned gifts, our organization, visitors, and the land we protect continue to thrive.
