MAP Adopt-a-Program
Here’s how it works:
- Select which
program area(s) you would like to support:
- Choose a monthly funding level that feels right for you and your budget;
- Decide which
payment method works best for you (PayPal, Network for Good, check by mail) as
described on the Donate page;
- Regardless of the payment method you choose, the amount you specify will automatically be debited each month for 12 months. You can feel free to stop at any time;
- MAP will contact you after 12 months to check-in and make sure that this program still works for you, as well as giving you options to alter or stop your payments.
If
you prefer to make an annual gift instead of monthly contributions, that’s
great! MAP welcomes your support in any form.
MAP's Goal for 2007-2008
In honor of MAP's new 501(c)(3) non-profit status and launching of our new website, we have set a goal of raising $30,000 during the next 12 months (May 2008).
If just 250 people sign up to contribute $10 per month, together we will reach our goal. As MAP Co-Founder Pisit Charnsnoh, of Yadfon Association in Thailand, once told MAP in 1992:
The mangroves sustain the people who sustain the mangroves!
Help MAP sustain and restore the mangroves today with your donation!
