Donations

The Chico State Ecotherapy Program is entirely funded by grants and donations. We care about providing services that are accessible to everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, age, or ability. Our generous donors and grant funders allow us to offer our services at no or reduced cost, removing financial barriers and health insurance requirements, so that everyone can experience our valuable healing services.

Your donation will help ensure that our program can continue to serve Chico State students, staff, faculty, and community members impacted by wildfire in Butte County. Join our supporters and please consider donating to the Ecotherapy Program so that we might continue to offer our holistic wellness services!
