OMBS Donate

Be a part of our Mission...Support the OMBS

These options are to allow both a general donation or the donation of an amount for a specific project.  The amount donated will be recorded for that donor, who will receive an acknowledgement letter for income tax purposes from the Ouachita Mountains Biological Station, a 501(c)(3) organization.  Our annual budgeted income is $30,000; all of our expenses, including salary for the resident manager, electric bill, phone, internet, and insurance, have to come out of that $30,000 for the entire year, which leaves about $4,000 to $5,000 for unscheduled expenses, such as equipment or appliance repairs or replacement.


Things the OMBS needs-


Materials: Drill Press, Hand Tools, Laboratory supplies (dissecting pans, dishes, instruments), Dissecting and compound microscopes, GPS unit, Weather equipment, Small off-road vehicle (4-wheeler).


Labor: Concrete work, Trail construction, Build a retaining wall.
