Entering into its 12th year, the Environmental Fund for Maryland has a mission to support Maryland’s leading environmental organizations through workplace giving and is dedicated to the preservation and protection of Maryland’s natural heritage. Chesapeake Wildlife Heritage is proud to be a founding member of this alliance of Maryland's leading environmental organizations.

As an Environmental Fund for Maryland supporter, you make an important personal statement about yourself and your role in protecting Maryland’s resources. The goal of EFM is to provide you with an easy way toget involved inpreserving our natural heritage. Supporting acharity through payroll deduction is one of the most efficient ways to support the organizations you careabout – for you and for thecharities.

Payroll deduction allows you to choosehow much you can afford to give and lets you do so in small increments throughout the year. You canmake a tax-deductiblecontribution to all of our members with one general gift to the Environmental Fundfor Maryland, or you may designate your gift to one or more member organizations of your choice. (we highly recommend CWH)
