Interview: Heather Singleton Discusses The Grove
The Grove is CVSC’s community of monthly donors devoted to building an inclusive and impactful conservation movement through collective action. Today, our Annual Giving Director, Heather Singleton, provides a deeper look into this unique way to get involved with CVSC’s work.
Q: Hi Heather! First things first, can you explain what The Grove is for those who may not know?
A: The Grove is CVSC’s community of donors who contribute to our vision through a monthly gift. It provides reliable support that allows us to plan for South Carolina’s present and future conservation efforts, strengthens the state’s greater conservation community, and serves as a pillar for the vision ahead.
Q: What makes The Grove a unique monthly giving program?
A: The Grove invites donors from across the state and beyond to contribute what they can monthly, supporting our conservation efforts on a recurring basis. As this community grows, we look forward to growing The Grove. CVSC also hosts fantastic engagement opportunities where our members can meet other conservation-minded people living in their community, learn more about CVSC’s work and vision for conservation in SC, and meet the CVSC team. In fact, we’re hosting events in Fort Mill and Greenville in October and would love to see you there.
Q: Based on what current members of The Grove have to say, why should CVSC supporters consider joining The Grove?
A: Whether you contribute $5 a month or $50 a month, your contributions are not just donations. They are seeds of change that help protect the South Carolina we love! With the committed support of our Grove members, we can confidently plan for the future. CVSC is excited to share our new strategic plan in the coming months. We envision stronger conservation leadership statewide, cleaner electricity and transportation, and significant protections for the people and places that matter to South Carolina’s residents and visitors. These goals will only be achieved with the continued support of The Grove’s membership.
Q: How can CVSC supporters join The Grove?
A: We would love to have you as a member of our Grove community! Join us now by committing your monthly gift online or e-mail me at [email protected] if you would like to set up your monthly gift through your bank or by check. We look forward to working with you to protect our South Carolina.
