NVT receives a large donation
We are very happy to announce that The Nature’s Valley Trust has been awarded a large donation from the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund, (NLDTF) which has been earmarked for our Environmental Education Programmes and which will significantly boost our capacity to make a difference in the communities in our area. The first tranche of the funding has already been allocated.
As you all know one of the key issues facing The Natures Valley Trust has been the question of funding and particularly funding for the running costs of the Trust. Fortunately the Trust has benefitted from generous donations from our dedicated support group as well as from significant funding from key donor organizations that have supported our projects through the years.
Our strategy over the past few years was to try and obtain funding from as wide a selection of sources as possible in order to reduce the demand on a few willing contributors and to consolidate the Trust as a viable and financially sustainable NGO. We have been fairly successful in this endeavor, although we have some way to go.
The donation for the NLDTF is a significant boost to the work of the Trust and a great reward for the efforts that Lindy Rodwell and Daniël Cloete put into getting these funds.
Our challenge as always remains the funding required for the operational expenses of the Trust. We therefore make an urgent appeal to all members to make donations to the Trust for our funding requirements in 2011.
The ultimate goal is for the trust to be supported by a regular, annual commitment from the majority of people who love Natures Valley
This remains our intention and motivation. Donations, primarily by the Nature’s Valley community, have enabled the Trust to be established, and sustained since 2001.
Any donation to the Natures Valley Trust, no matter how large or small, is appreciated!
All donations will go toward the running and projects of the Nature’s Valley Trust. Please send an email or fax the donation form below to Daniël Cloete, indicating your donation amount, Please consider making your donation either a monthly or yearly commitment to the Nature’s Valley Trust and indicate it on the donation form.
We hope to see you all in The Valley at the end of the year.
With all best wishes.
