The cost of administration of the Preservation Foundation is covered by the Forest Preserves. This means that, unlike most charities, 95 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to programs and impact on the ground. It also means that your Annual Fund donation, which might typically pay salaries or keep the lights on, can be used to help the Forest Preserves do more. In
