Donations support TMLA's ongoing operations, committees, and conservation initiatives that protect the long-term health of Ten Mile Lake and its surrounding environment. Your generosity helps address critical environmental challenges, including aquatic invasive species, pollution prevention, habitat protection, and other conservation priorities.

Gifts are placed in the James W. Schwartz Environmental Protection Fund (JWS EPF), which holds short-term and mid-term investments of the TMLA and are used to supplement the TMLA’s annual budget. The fund is named in honor of James W. Schwartz, a quarter-century key Association leader.
