MANY THANKS TO OUR PATRONS
Every gift is important. Every patron is important. Our goal is to provide Forever Earth to diverse groups as a floating environmental laboratory and learning center on Lake Mead. As a patron, your gift has a significant impact on current and future generations of students and researchers. As such, we want to acknowledge and recognize those that have supported and contributed to the Forever Earth program.

Created by an act of Congress in 1916, the National Park Service is the federal agency that manages all National Parks, many National Monuments, and other conservation and historical properties, including the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Lake Mead enjoys a close relationship with the Clark County School District by providing a series of educational programs emphasizing history, culture, nature, and science at the lake.
A leader in luxury houseboats vacation rentals, the company is committed to the standard of their corporate environmental policy, which is to monitor and improve the performance of business operations and the endeavor to conduct all activities in a manner than protects both human health and the environment. Forever Resorts has donated use of the Forever Earth vessel for the purposes of research and education on Lake Mead. Through the Forever Resorts concession at Callville Bay Marina, Forever Resorts also provides mechanical maintenance, stocks the vessel with consumable supplies, and provides a slip for the vessel at the marina.
A non-profit organization, the Outside Las Foundation strives to connect Southern Nevadans with their natural and cultural heritage and motivate them to participate in the stewardship of their surrounding public lands. The Foundation does this through building and facilitating partnerships, launching initiatives, and facilitating effective collaborations to address important community issues.
The Foundation has been instrumental in facilitating the early partnerships that have shaped the Forever Earth program. A successful grant proposal to the Nevada Community Foundation has also resulted in a $7500 grant award to the Foundation specifically to assist economically disadvantaged schools in using Forever Earth.
Recently, OLVF also was successful in securing a $10,000 grant for Forever Earth from Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI), a major national gear and apparel retail cooperative. The grant will allow more students in the Clark County School District to participate in the Forever Earth program.
