KAEE $50k for 50 Years
50 Years of Growing Environmental Education
For five decades, KAEE has brought people together around a shared belief: environmental education has the power to create lasting change.
What began as a small gathering in a living room has grown into a statewide network connecting educators, students, and community leaders across Kentucky.
Today, KAEE provides the resources, training, connections, and support that help environmental educators reach thousands of students and communities each year.
And we’re just getting started.
HEARTWOOD CIRCLE
Celebrating 50 years. Investing in the next 50.
KAEE has spent the past 50 years advancing environmental literacy, connecting educators, and helping people across Kentucky build stronger connections to the environment.
Now, we’re looking ahead.
Our goal is to raise $50,000 to grow KAEE’s Legacy Fund from $50,000 to $100,000 and create a permanent source of support for environmental education for generations to come.
Every monthly gift helps us build a stronger future for environmental education.

For 50 years, our community has helped KAEE grow. Now, we're building something that can keep growing long after this anniversary year is over. Help us turn 50 years of environmental education into a lasting legacy.
By growing the Legacy Fund to $100,000, KAEE can create a permanent source of funding that continues supporting environmental education into the future.
Your gift isn't just supporting one program, one event, or one year.
You're investing in the educators who inspire thousands of students, the communities they serve, and the future of environmental education in Kentucky.

What could your monthly gift do?
Your monthly gift goes twice as dar. We’re looking for new monthly donors to join the Heartwood Circle, a community of supporters helping create a lasting future for environmental education.
And right now, your impact can go even further.
Thanks to a generous challenge match from Terry Wilson and Vicki Stayton, every new monthly pledge will be matched up to $10,000.
