We realize that not everyone can give at this time but if you are able, please consider a gift today to help us secure the future of Monarch Watch and support our mission to sustain the monarch migration. Donations of any amount do help and are greatly appreciated!

ONE DAY. ONE KU. is a 24-hour fundraising campaign here at the University of Kansas and this year gifts may be made in support of Monarch Watch. The event is today only (Thursday, February 16th) and all donations made until 11:59 p.m. CST tonight will count toward the day’s totals.

This year, you may choose to support:

1) the Chip and Toni Taylor Professorship in Support of Monarch Watch to help us secure the future of Monarch Watch by hiring a new professor/scientist/director (more info at https://monarchwatch.org/future), or

2) the Monarch Watch Fund to help us continue to expand our education, conservation and research programs and aid many people in their efforts to create habitats to sustain the monarch migration.

During today’s event, gifts to the Chip and Toni Taylor Professorship in support of Monarch Watch will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $50,000, through a generous Director’s match. Additionally, thousands of companies match employee gifts to higher education institutions, which can double or even triple the impact of your contribution. To find out if your employer has a matching gift program, please visit https://kuendowment.org/Your-Gift/Matching-Gifts

All donations to Monarch Watch are processed by KU Endowment, a 501(c)(3) organization at the University of Kansas. No matter how you give, KU Endowment will allocate 100% of your gift to the fund you choose, and gifts are tax-deductible within the limitations of U.S. federal income tax laws. Please note that online donations will not meet the requirements for Canadian tax returns so if you are in Canada and would like to make a tax-deductible donation, it will have to be made by mail – see the information at https://monarchwatch.org/donate or call with any questions.

Please spread the word about today’s giving opportunity and thank you for your continued support!
