Donate to the 'Vote Yes for Water and Nature' Ballot Committee

A wide coalition of organizations throughout Massachusetts, including the state’s leading nonprofit land and water conservation groups, are working through the Nature for Massachusetts Coalition to pass the Protect Water and Nature Ballot Initiative on the 2026 statewide ballot. We've established the 'Vote Yes for Water and Nature' Ballot Committee to help support this effort.

The Protect Water and Nature Ballot Initiative would create a dedicated Nature for All Fund with $100 million each year to support the conservation and restoration of water and land in Massachusetts, and to support the creation and improvement of parks, trails, greenspaces, and other outdoor recreation spaces. The Nature for All Fund would be funded by the state’s existing sales tax on sporting goods such as golf clubs, RVs, and camping gear — not by creating a new tax.

Donations to the 'Vote Yes for Water and Nature' Ballot Committee will be used to advocate for the ballot initiative and communicate with voters across the state about the benefits of protecting clean drinking water and conserving our forests, farms, and other nature areas.
