EVENT
SPONSORSHIP
Dear Environmental Education Supporter,
We invite you to show your support for environmental education in our state by sponsoring Kansas Association for Conservation and Environmental Education (KACEE) events this year. KACEE unites public agencies, teachers, community organizations, businesses, and individuals behind a common cause - teaching kids how to think, not what to think, about environmental issues through non-biased and science-based EE.
KACEE is a 501(c)3 organization with a vison to grow a healthy, vibrant and resilient Kansas through the power of environmental education. A portion of your sponsorship is tax deductible. Your sponsorship will be recognized in our promotions, reaching 1300+ people across Kansas.
By sponsoring our fundraising events, you will help offset costs, reduce registration fees, and provide scholarships for educators. Support for environmental education is vital for a healthy environment, vibrant economy, and successful communities.
If environmental education is something that you or your organization deeply values, sponsoring one or more of our events provides the opportunity to live your values and lead your community by example.
Thank you for your consideration!
The KACEE Board and Staff
Take Action for Outdoor and Environmental Education in Kansas, Support HB 2063
KACEE is a proud member of Kansans for Conservation, a statewide coalition working to secure long-term, dedicated funding for conservation across Kansas. Our bill is currently in the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee, and your voice can help ensure Kansas invests in the outdoor learning and community education opportunities that help people connect with the land.
We invite you to take a moment to contact your Kansas House and Senate representatives and express your support for HB 2063. Legislators consistently say that short and personal messages from constituents carry significant weight. Your perspective as someone who works directly with Kansas land and water is especially impactful.
Why This Matters for Outdoor and Environmental Education
Conservation is strongest when people understand the natural resources around them. Outdoor and environmental education helps students, families, and community members learn about ecology, stewardship, and the importance of Kansas lands and waters. HB 2063 supports nature-based education by providing voluntary and locally guided funding for schools, youth programs, nature centers, summer camps, community groups, and others who offer hands-on outdoor learning. These investments help young people build confidence and curiosity, strengthen community well-being, and create lifelong connections to the outdoors.

I am reaching out as your constituent to share my support for House Bill 2063.

HB 2063 helps schools, youth organizations, nature centers, and community groups provide hands-on learning that builds stewardship and appreciation for Kansas natural resources. I encourage you to support this bill and help expand outdoor and environmental education opportunities in our state.

The bill is currently pending in the House Committee on Agriculture & Natural Resources, and Kansans for Conservation is working to incorporate direct feedback from legislators into an amended bill for the upcoming session. I encourage you to keep an eye out for those changes and support the bill.
