As someone who appreciates and supports a future where Maine's lakes are clear, clean and blue, we are inviting you to help us meet our first ever Clean Lake Challenge

A generous benefactor has offered us a Challenge Grant of $10,000 IF we raise $20,000 by the end of 2025. This will triple our typical year-end giving and provide a critical boost to our 2026 clean lake programming.

We have big plans for delivering essential programs that directly protect lakes by engaging people in action. Your dollars will:

• Empower communities with LakeSmart education and stewardship programming
• Increase shoreline resiliency with more and larger native plant buffers
• Strengthen lake protectioni policies, around invasive species management and funding
• Help fight harmful algal blooms by supporting erison reduction practice
• Expand freshwater education programming support across the state

Whether you've given recently or never given before, please consider a donation today to help us reach our Clean Lakes Challenge and overcome the obstacles facing Maine's lakes in the year ahead. As federal and other funding uncertainties loom in our future, there has never been a better time to meet the challenge of keeping Maine's lakes clean.

Thank you for considering this request and for all you do to support clean and healthy Maine lakes.
