Support & Donate

Honoring life, one frog at a time

Your support makes everything we do possible.

Because of donors and volunteers like you, A Frog House is able to advocate for amphibians, collaborate with community partners, and provide hands-on ecological education that restores wetlands and strengthens community well-being.

We believe that small, collective actions—repeated across many backyards and neighborhoods—can create meaningful ecological change. This belief is at the heart of our work, especially through our Build Your Own Backyard Vernal Pond initiative, which empowers families to restore vital amphibian habitat close to home.

Proof of Impact: What Your Support Made Possible

Over the past year, your donations and volunteer efforts helped make several major projects a reality. Together, we built three large vernal ponds and planted a permaculture garden that now serve as a public, living model of what can be done sustainably—both at scale and on a smaller, backyard basis.

These sites demonstrate how chemical-free practices, native plants, and thoughtful land care can restore habitat, support amphibians and pollinators, and create welcoming spaces for learning and reflection. Families and visitors of all ages are able to see firsthand how these approaches translate directly to smaller ponds and gardens at home, reinforcing the idea that meaningful environmental action is accessible to everyone.

This work forms the foundation for our next phase: helping households replicate these successes through the Build Your Own Backyard Vernal Pond program.

How Your Gift Makes a Difference

Your donation directly supports:

• The Build Your Own Backyard Vernal Pond program, including materials, workshops, and family participation
• Habitat restoration projects such as vernal ponds and native plant installations
• Educational programs, public open houses, workshops, and tours
• Collaboration with biologists, educators, conservation groups, and local partners
• Outreach, materials, coordination, and grant writing

A Frog House operates with an exceptionally lean model. Leadership and stewardship of the property are fully volunteer, and all property improvements are personally funded. This means donations of any size are used directly to support programs, education, and community engagement for public benefit.

Giving at Any Level Matters

Every gift helps sustain this work. You may choose to give once or on a recurring basis—both are deeply appreciated.

From time to time, donors who give $100 or more may request a signed copy of Froggy Family’s First Frolic, written and illustrated by Margot Fass, as a thank-you gift. Availability varies, and requests are always optional.

A Gift That Grows Over Time

Vernal ponds mature over seasons. Amphibian populations grow year by year. Learning deepens through observation and care.

Your donation is not a one-time transaction—it is an investment in long-term ecological health, environmental literacy, and a culture of stewardship.
