Expansion assets Dodge Nature Center has recently invested in new properties including a Colonial Revival 1920s farmhouse in Cottage Grove and additional land acquisitions expanding to 460+ acres across four properties. This presents cross-site program expansion, scalable venue partnerships, and joint fundraising opportunities with a growing property portfolio.

Education partnerships Active collaboration with external organizations such as Family Handyman for sustainable projects and GAP School for student hours indicates a strong openness to corporate sponsorships, volunteer programs, and education-focused partnerships that can be leveraged for program sponsorships, CSR engagements, and API-enabled experiential learning retreats.

Community engagement Free year‑round public access to trails across all properties plus a nature-based preschool and community events create dependable community touchpoints. This provides recurring volunteer recruitment, donor engagement opportunities, and municipal or school district collaboration deals for environmental education programs.

Financial scale Annual revenue in the tens of millions indicates a sizable nonprofit with potential for large-scale sponsorships, grant opportunities, and tiered corporate partnerships that align with environmental education, conservation, and sustainable farming initiatives.

Sustainability focus Facilities feature restored prairies, wetlands, a working farm, raptor mews, and a bee apiary across multiple properties. This creates opportunities for product partnerships (habitat restoration gear, native plant programs), venue bookings for events, and collaborative grant proposals around biodiversity and environmental stewardship.
