Donate
The Alumni Association’s primary purpose is to enhance the program at the Northern Lakes Girl Scout Canoe Base. To achieve this goal, the association relies on your donations of both time and money.
If you have additional ideas on how you can help support the NLCBAA, please contact boardchair@nlcbaa.org
Monetary Donations
One of the easiest ways to support our organization and the canoe base is through a monetary donation. The NLCBAA is a 501(c)(3) NON-PROFIT corporation! This means that all donations are tax-deductible. There are a few ways you can give a monetary donation to the NLCBAA:
Donation Matching Program: Some companies match donations of employees for non-profits. If you work for a company that does this, we recommend making donations through your company’s program to maximize your donation. The EIN Number for the NLCBAA is 412188973. If you have any additional questions for setting up the NLCBAA with your company’s matching donation program, please contact our Board Chair.
PayPal: To send us a secure donation using PayPal, please follow the link below:
Personal Check: You can send donations via a personal check to:
Northern Lakes Canoe Base Alumni Association
1 Acorn Drive
Sunfish Lake, MN 55077
Donations of Time
Currently, one of the main project the organization is working on is Participant Recruitment. You can help with this project by advertising the program to your local council. If you have already done this, we would like to know! If you would like some guidance and/or material on how you can do this, please contact boardchair@nlcbaa.org.
Additionally, you can give donations of time by coming to a work weekend at the canoe base. There is usually one work weekend in late spring and we always need more volunteers! To find out about upcoming work weekends, please check out our Events page.
