Become a Member

Join today!

Become a member with your gift to the Holden Giving Program. The Holden Giving Program is a unified giving program with membership at the core of each gift.  We combined membership and annual fund into one request. Your gift provides general operating support for Holden. Gifts from individuals, businesses and foundations keep Holden open and all its programs running. Your annual gift and membership help support programming and services that would otherwise not be possible.

 

 

Give the Gift of Nature

Give a membership as a gift that keeps on giving year round. When the blossoms are bursting in the spring; when summer settles in; when the leaves are bright yellow, orange and red; and when the ground is blanketed in snow. Every season is the perfect season at Holden.
