“For it is in Giving That We Receive”

Investing in the uplands helps to preserve critical habitat, while providing opportunity to enjoy these precious landscapes now and in the future

By Jordan L.K. Martincich, Director of Development

Giving takes many forms and in its truest form is more rewarding than receiving. Call of the Uplands® is an opportunity for us to give future generations upland landscapes filled with bountiful wildlife and the ability to enjoy these wonderful places. These lands were gifted to us by past generations, and it is our duty to leave them better than we found them.

To accomplish this, we need every member of Quail Forever to accelerate their giving in the coming years. As a member of the organization, you have already shown your willingness to take action in support of Quail Forever. But for us to truly save the uplands, we need you to do more.

As you consider the ways you can give more to the uplands, here are a few examples of how members like you are increasing their support.

GIVE MONTHLY
Scheduling a monthly gift provides consistent support for expanding Quail Forever’s critical work. You can schedule this gift using your credit card or debit card, allowing you to “set it and forget it” just like you do for other services. A gift of $1.66 per day, which is just half the cost of a cup of coffee, will generate $50 per month for upland wildlife habitat conservation.

GIVE A MEMBERSHIP
For less than 10 cents per day, you can give a $35 Quail Forever Affiliate membership to a friend or loved one. This gift benefits our mission while creating new members for our upland community.

JOIN THE HABITAT LEGACY SOCIETY
By remembering Quail Forever as part of your will or estate plan, you are joining the Habitat Legacy Society and perpetuating QF’s efforts for generations to come. This is the only gift you can make during your lifetime that requires no financial support while you are living.

We need the help of every single member to make the courageous Call of the Uplands vision a reality, and we hope you will increase your giving in the coming years.

The Call of the Uplands is Quail Forever and Pheasants Forever's first-ever comprehensive national campaign. This represents a $500 million effort designed to enhance over 9 million acres of upland habitat, permanently protect 75,000 acres through fee-title acquisition and conservation easements, and to cultivate the next generation of conservationists by providing over 1.5 million Americans with outdoor experiences from the West’s expansive landscapes and the vast Great Plains, to the quiet southern pine woods. This campaign is our best chance to bring together dedicated citizens, hunter-conservationists, farmers, ranchers, and other partners with a common cause: A promise to conserve our uplands before it's too late.
