Sponsorship
The Forest Preserve District's Sponsorships and Donations Program minimizes our reliance on tax dollars and builds partnerships within the community. We seek support for our events, programs and capital projects through grants, sponsorships and donations. This funding allows us to provide the very best services for the residents of Will County.
Please consider supporting us in our mission to protect, conserve, enhance and promote Will County's natural heritage for the educational, recreational and environmental benefit of present and future generations.

Corporate partnerships
The Forest Preserve is dedicated to building partnerships with organizations interested in supporting our events, programs, facilities and capital projects. A variety of opportunities are available, including partnering with us for a corporate workday. Businesses can get their employees out into nature for a few hours, while making a contribution to the community at the same time! Workday activities can include site cleanup, brush cutting, and other work that improves the District's preserves for the benefit of the public. For more information about partnering with the Forest Preserve, please call 815-722-7364.
