In 2021, ICCD formally created the Friends of the Indiana County Conservation District organization, which will eventually be incorporated into a 501c3 non-profit organization. Through fundraising, outreach, network development, and other capacity-building activities, this organization supports the environmental, recreational, and economic development efforts of the Indiana County Conservation District. Several of the current efforts are detailed below.
Every year, on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, Friends of ICCD holds the Annual Thank a Farmer Dash to raise money to support the Cambria & Indiana County Farmer Fund which provides small grants to agricultural producers for business plan development and sustainable practices. The 2021 race was held on November 20th, with 28 participants. Thank a Farmer Dash

Green Drinks
What is Green Drinks Indiana? It’s a recurring networking and happy hour on the fourth Wednesday of every month at 5:30 p.m. Each month, the event is held at a different location and benefits a different, local, environmentally friendly or “green” project or organization. The vibe is informal, fun, and the aim is for you to meet like-minded locals while supporting a great cause! No RSVP needed —just come!
