Ways to Give
You can make a difference. Join the Daniel Stowe Conservancy legacy to help us inspire a love of nature and its beauty through unforgettable outdoor experiences.
Stowe is a nonprofit organization funded by the support of our generous donors, members and volunteers. Every dollar spent, hour worked or time dedicated to Stowe helps us fulfill our mission and vision, protect and preserve our beautiful 360 acres and provide our community with a place to spend a day outdoors with their families. The support of our community funds new tools for our horticulture team, new miles of trails built and expanded opportunities for all to find their path to nature. Thank you! Your contributions keep our Stowe growing strong. Explore ways to get involved:
Featured Initiative: Sponsor a Butterfly
Each summer, nearly 4,000 butterflies fill the Butterfly Bungalow at Stowe, creating moments of joy for guests of all ages.
For $25, you can symbolically sponsor a butterfly in honor, celebration or memory of someone special. Your dedication will be featured on our Butterfly Bungalow webpage, where you may share a name and short message for a loved one, friend, child, grandchild, teacher, colleague or anyone who deserves a little extra beauty this season.
Featured Initiative: Castle Guardian
The Prairie Castle Playground and the Adventure Trail have quickly become favorite places for families at Stowe. Children climb the castle, splash along the shaded Adventure Trail, explore outdoor rooms and discover the magic of Lost Hollow through play, imagination and nature.
Now, you have the opportunity to become part of that story.
With a gift of $500, you can become a Castle Guardian and provide ongoing support for the care, upkeep and future enhancements of the Adventure Trail and Prairie Castle Playground. Your generosity helps keep these beloved spaces safe, beautiful and full of discovery for families for years to come.
