Conservation Partnerships - Keystone Elk Country Alliance

Learn More About our Conservation Partner Program

Are you passionate about conservation education, habitat enhancement, and permanent land protection? The Conservation Partner Program is the Keystone Elk Country Alliance’s major gift recognition program, created for individuals, corporations, and foundations who want to make a lasting impact in Pennsylvania Elk Country.

The program begins with a minimum gift or pledge of $2,000. Pledges begin with an initial payment of 20%, with the remaining balance paid within five years. Additional gifts of $500 or more are cumulative and may be applied toward higher Conservation Partnership levels.

Conservation Partners receive a plaque recognizing their level of giving and will have their names displayed on the Conservation Partner Wall at the Elk Country Visitor and Education Center.

Our Current Partners

Each year, volunteer-led KECA Conservation Banquets and fundraisers are held across Pennsylvania to support the Keystone Elk Country Alliance and its mission to conserve and enhance Elk Country for future generations. These events serve as the backbone of KECA’s fundraising efforts and feature unique local traditions, games and raffles, silent and live auctions with exclusive experiences, and limited-edition items—including a custom firearm each year. By attending, guests enjoy an evening of fun and camaraderie while directly supporting the protection and preservation of Pennsylvania’s Elk Country.
