Our Funders

Our Partners

  • Friends of Quincy Bog contribute annually or monthly to support the Bog, and Taffe Conservation Fund Donors support the acquisition of conservation easements. Most of our funding comes from members of the public, justifying our IRS status as a 501(c)3 non-profit, tax-exempt organization.

  • Grantors
    • Grants from the NH Charitable Foundation, Madelaine G. VonWeber Trust, Davis Conservation Foundation, Meredith Village Savings Bank and Samuel P. Hunt Foundation enabled the Bog to improve access and user safety by upgrading or replacing old boardwalks and bridges on the north side of the property. (2020-2021)
    • McIninch Foundation funding improved access to the Nature Center for families with babies and strollers, the elderly with walkers, and those using crutches. The trail was graded and surfaced with gravel composite from both kiosks to the bog edge, and boardwalks were added and resurfaced to improve the trail around the Bog. (2012-2013)
    • Meredith Village Savings Bank funded the Bog’s pontoon bridge and provided benches for rest and contemplation along the Bog trail. (2012-2013)
