Why is Your Membership Important?

The Hamilton County SWCD is funded for the majority of its expenses by the Hamilton County Council, the State of Indiana, and various grants. Your important financial contribution helps the SWCD to provide additional services and education which help protect and enhance the natural resources in Hamilton County now and for future generations.

Donations are used to help us hold workshops and programs for all age groups, produce educational publications and literature, establish demonstration sites, and support the many services offered by the SWCD.  Affiliate membership contributions are tax deductible.  Please consult your tax professional for details.
