What do you see when you imagine the Everglades?
Perhaps it’s the iconic sawgrass marshes stretching to the horizon, the rustle of wind through cypress trees, or still waters broken by an alligator slipping beneath the surface. These moments define the Everglades — and their future depends on us.
Now imagine the Everglades in 2050. What will it look like? Will clean water flow freely, sustaining vibrant wildlife and human health? Will we still witness breathtaking sunsets over vast swaths of undeveloped land? By supporting Friends of the Everglades today, you can help ensure this vision.
Because he believes in our work, a generous donor has come forward with a $15,000 matching gift to double the power of every donation through December 31. Your gift now directly supports restoration, research, and advocacy for the River of Grass — amplifying our shared impact.
We have FIVE DAYS to reach this match. Join us in protecting this one-of-a-kind treasure!
