9 Ways to Support the Friends of Devil’s Lake Projects & Programs

The Friends’ mission is to work with the Wisconsin DNR to coordinate activities that support, assist, and promote Devil’s Lake State Park through the coordination of volunteer services, events, activities, and financial support. Our work is funded through donations and grants from outdoor enthusiasts like you. Here’s how you can help.

• Become a member! Joining the Friends gives us power in numbers. Join, renew your expired membership, or gift a membership today. Memberships start at $30 for a year. We have memberships for individuals, families, and businesses.

• See if your employer offers matching dollars. For example, Alliant Energy matches dollar-to-dollar payroll deductions made by employees to the Friends of Devil’s Lake State Park (up to $3500). Ask your employer if they will match your donation, or consider making a payroll deduction.

• Planned Giving. Your legacy gift from a will, trust, or financial account helps provide the Friends with operational support.

• Make a Gift of Stock or Bonds. Transfer your stock or mutual bonds to the Friends. Contact us in advance so we can prepare our financial institutions.

• IRA Distributions. If you are 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free distribution from your traditional or Roth IRA to the Friends. It's an efficient way to support the causes that matter to you most.

• Charitable Gift Annuities. Support the Friends and your retirement.

• Purchase a Dedication Paver. 100% of proceeds benefit the Friends.

• Sponsor an Event. Your business or organization can become a Friends sponsor! Sponsor an event or an activity. Reach out to talk about how you can do that.

• Represent the Friends with Merch. Stop by our gift shop inside the park’s visitor center on the North Shore and pick up your Friends merchandise! We have apparel, accessories, stickers, posters, hats, water bottles, and so much more!
