For 23 years, Executive Director Jason Sanders blazed the trail for Dodge Nature Center, leading with passion, vision, and an unwavering commitment to environmental education and conservation.

As Jason sets off on his next adventure, we invite you to honor his legacy with a donation in his name.

You can make a big impact by giving a small amount on a recurring basis—become a sustaining donor today.

Making a donation in honor or memory of a loved one is a special way to celebrate their love of nature. If you so choose, we will send a note letting the honoree or family members know of your gift.

With gifts of $500 or more, you have the option of having a leaf added to the legacy tree located inside our Farm Education Building at the West St. Paul property.

Do you have a donor-advised fund? You can recommend a grant from your fund to Dodge.

Our corporate and foundation partners provide indispensable support to our work at Dodge. Whether it’s general operating support, sponsorship, or investing in a specific program or project, we appreciate working with you to fulfill our mission.
