I'm enthralled with the beauty of the Great Lakes region, and dedicated to its preservation. That's why I donate 10% of every purchase to an organizations that share that commitment.
One of the groups I support is the Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat Network and Fund (GLAHNF). They work to encourage community-based citizen action to protect and restore the water quality of the Great Lakes. They provide grants, communications and networking assistance, and technical assistance to citizens and grassroots watershed groups throughout the Great Lakes basin.
In keeping with their grassroots emphasis, most of the grants they provide are modest. Project grants seem to range up to about $5,000. Special opportunity grants provide smaller amounts. For example, in 2005 the Illinois Audubon Society received a $250 grant to send one of their staff to a workshop on protecting the endangered piping plover.
The Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat Network and Fund has been very enthusiastic about our partnership. They recently created a special section of their website called the Inspiration Gallery. I'm proud to be one of two featured artists currently listed.
From now through September 30 I'm offering a special promotion that will benefit both you and the Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat Network and Fund . Make a purchase at Great Lakes Editions and enter the promotional code GLAHNF at checkout and two nice things will happen. First, you will get a 10% discount on your purchase. Second, I will double my usual contribution to 20%...and designate it exclusively to the Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat Network and Fund.
