Conserva Puchegüín Fund
Dedicated to safeguarding a critical swath of Chilean Patagonia, this fund supports the conservation of the pristine ecosystems and vibrant communities of the Cochamó, Manso, and Puelo valleys.

The Cochamó, Manso, and Puelo valleys are home to a breathtaking array of ecosystems, including ancient alerce forests, pristine lakes, and vibrant wetlands. This region is a vital wildlife corridor, a haven for endangered species, and a crucial carbon sink that helps mitigate climate change. Local communities have thrived here for generations, deeply connected to the land.

Currency is listed as US dollars. By supporting this fund, you will contribute to innovative, community-led conservation in the region. Your support will help protect natural and cultural treasures, including safeguarding Hacienda Puchegüín, an at-risk 132,879-hectare (328,638-acre) private property in the heart of the region that is currently for sale.

Should you choose to support this organization or project, your contribution will be made to Marin Community Foundation, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation that is a tax-exempt public charity under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3).

Contributions made via the Donation Center are distributed by MCF to the donor’s intended recipient. In the case of MCF pooled funds, where donations are collected into a single fund and then granted to multiple organizations, MCF receives your donation and distributes the total collected funds to the grantees for that fund. Your contribution may take up to 45 days to be received by MCF and sent to the intended recipient organization. No fees are assessed on any specific donation to or from a fund. The full amount of your contribution to MCF constitutes a charitable contribution that may be tax deductible. Donors should consult their personal tax advisors for any questions regarding tax deductibility based on their personal tax situation.

In some instances, for reasons outside of MCF’s control, a contribution may not reach the intended recipient. This may be due to the intended recipient’s loss of federal or state tax-exempt status or other reasons. In such a case, MCF will select another recipient organization based on its sole discretion.

If you choose to support an organization by visiting their website to donate directly to the organization, Marin Community Foundation does not accept or hold any donation or receive fees from any donation made directly to another organization.
