With over 1,800 members and almost 80,000 visitors to our nature center last year, VINS has become an important member of the Upper Valley community and beyond. We hope you will consider becoming a partner in our mission, educating children and adults about the importance of caring for our environment, and help us continue environmental education and stewardship into the next 50 years.

Our goal is to raise $20,000 from our online auction this year. All proceeds from the auction support our environmental education programs for adults, families, and school children, our environmental science field research, our nature center and our Center for Wild Bird Rehabilitation. 

By donating to our auction, your business will be highlighted on our auction webpage promoting your company’s name and logo to up to 400 bidders throughout the United States. Auction items are also posted on our social media platforms and announced in several e-blasts to over 14,000 constituents. Your business will also be included in our annual report listed as a donor. All contributions are tax deductible and a letter will be sent to you with the value of your donation, after the auction has ended. Our Tax ID for your records: 03-0231665.

Pickup or drop-off of donated items can be arranged. Otherwise, donations may be mailed to:
