Thank you for donating today in support of long-term protection for the beautiful Sonoran Desert, one of the most biodiverse deserts in the world.
Your donations will go twice as far this Spring thanks to a $50,000 matching gift — our largest, most generous matching campaign EVER!
This doubles your impact:
your $25 donation becomes $50,
your $50 donation becomes $100,
your $100 donation becomes $200,
your $500 donation becomes $1,000,
AND MORE!
Your donation will directly fund our work to:
- Advocate with local government, developers, and landowners for existing and newly protected open spaces
- Watchdog monitor development projects to ensure they respect local conservation and open space policies
- Invest in ongoing community science to help us make stronger arguments, improve our landscape, build community and spread the word
- Input on several 10, 20 and 30 year long-term land use plans in draft right now across our region
- Fight against destructive projects such as Interstate 11 and mining in the Santa Rita Mountains
- Push for better connectivity between open spaces, including with research-backed wildlife crossings — we want to see a wildlife bridge spanning 1-10 near Avra Valley Road!
- And more!

The Sonoran Desert inspires collective, and powerful, local action towards our mission to protect and reconnect this spectacular landscape for future generations. Thank you for your generous donation in support of this mission!
