Dovetail Partners

Hello, and I hope you are doing well!  It is an honor and a pleasure to invite you to be a Dovetail supporter.  Together we create success and partnership!

The Dovetail team recently celebrated more than 20 years since our founding. We looked back at the more than 300 reports, articles, and projects we’ve completed, the more than 100 internships we’ve hosted, and our many partnerships, colleagues, and supporters that have done this work with us. 

My father will often say that over a lifetime a farmer gets maybe 40 or 50 growing seasons to figure out how to do things. Foresters know that over a career you may only get a handful of opportunities to guide the outcomes for trees you care for. Carrying forward what we learn from season to season, year to year, and from practitioner to practitioner is essential to ensuring our work isn’t alone and our progress isn’t lost.

The Dovetail team carries three guiding principles in the ways we start and continue our work.  One, we go local. We may not be able to address everything, everywhere, all at once - but we can always do work in our backyards, with our neighbors, and where our roots run deep.  Two, we collaborate.  We may not have all the answers, but we know that others will have more to add to ours and together we’ll go further. Three, we carry forward the work of those before us and create space for those who will do their work after us. The goal has never been to finish but to sustain and nurture.

Thank you to everyone who has been, is, and will be part of Dovetail’s work. We are grateful and look forward to all the future holds for our partnership. If you want the details of our recent work and impact, please sign up for our monthly newsletter and visit our portfolio and news pages.

I invite you to renew your support of Dovetail Partners via an online donation at GiveMN.org or by by mail with our donation form.  If you wish to contribute via stocks, bonds, or securities, you can find instructions here. 

A gift from your IRA may also be a good option. Please consult with your financial advisor. You may be able to make a tax-free gift and pay no income taxes on a gift from your most highly taxed assets. If you are required to take minimum distributions, your gift can help meet your RMD obligation. 

Your individual donation is critical for Dovetail to remain an independent voice on today’s key issues. Please join us as we champion the delivery of trustworthy, science-based environmental information. Our work is informing public and private decision-making everyday.  Help us continue to be a thought leader.

Thank you for your support!
