Generosity Comes in Many Forms
Every contribution helps connect people, communities and the natural world. Beyond monetary gifts and volunteering, there are many unique ways you can make a lasting impact at the Wenatchee River Institute (WRI). From donating stock or in-kind goods to simply sharing a review or spreading the word, your contributions help keep our programs thriving and our community growing. Learn more about other ways you can give below!
Gift of Stock
The Community Foundation of North Central Washington (CFNCW) graciously facilitates gifts of stock from you to the Wenatchee River Institute. Your broker can assist you in making a gift of stock via a direct transfer to CFNCW. To make a gift of stock to WRI, visit CFNCW's website and fill out this form.
If you have any questions about this process, you can call CFNCW at 509-663-7716 or WRI's Development Manager, Randee Zerger, at 509-548-0181 ext. 7.
Amazon Wish List
You can support our programs directly by purchasing supplies straight from WRI's Amazon Wish List. From art supplies to everyday campus necessities like toilet paper and cleaning supplies, these items keep our organization running smoothly. It’s a wonderful way to see exactly where your support goes — and because your purchase is a direct donation to WRI, you will receive an in-kind tax receipt for your gift in January! Click "Sort By" and "Priority (high to low)" to see what our most urgent needs are.
Please include your name and email in the Amazon "gift message" at checkout so we know who to thank and where to send your tax receipt!
Feel free to also purchase items from this list independently and drop them off at the WRI office any time from Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. Thank you!
