2024 Cayuga Lake Community Fund

Cultivating Informed and Equitable Relationships Between People and Watersheds.

A fundraising campaign for Discover Cayuga Lake

Dear Friends:

We've wrapped up our 2024 cruise season and, with community support via the Cayuga Lake Community Fund, we provided Floating Classroom cruise programs for 1200 students, and free community cruises for nearly 1500 local residents!    

Our work doesn’t stop when the snow flies.  Through the winter, we’ll be guiding students at 20 local schools as they raise trout, and learn about healthy streams, right in their classrooms.   During this holiday season, you can support our work, and see the results, by adopting a "Finger Lakes Trout in the Classroom" aquarium at a school in your neighborhood! 

  1. Visit our “Trout in the Classroom” program page to see what schools need aquarium sponsors.
  2. Return to this page, and select “Adopt a Trout Tank for a Year” to make your $250 donation.
  3. When you register, please add a message to let us know which tank you want to sponsor. 

You’ll get a big thank-you from the class, and an invitation to attend a trout release field trip this coming spring!

PLEASE NOTE:   Your contributions to the Cayuga Lake Community Fund, at any level, directly support education and community access programs and ensure that our flagship, the M/V Teal, is in top condition every year.  To learn more about what we do, and our model for eco-tourism in the Finger Lakes, visit our main website (www.DiscoverCayugaLake.org).
