Natural Areas and Preserves Special Account
Your donations go towards the preservation of Ohios nature preserves and scenic rivers. You can help create a rich and lasting legacy for all Ohioans. Your generous donation supports the protection of Ohios endangered species, as well as preserves high-quality natural areas and streams.

Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Special Account
Your donations are used to help all of Ohios wildlife. The Division of Wildlife uses these funds to establish habitat and protect open spaces for wildlife. Past donations have helped to restore populations of endangered species including peregrine falcons, bald eagles, and snowshoe hares. Your generous donation will continue to help support Ohios native wildlife, a natural treasure!

A donation will reduce the amount of the refund that will be sent to you. If you decide to donate, this decision is final. You cannot change your mind and ask for your donations to be refunded once you have sent in your return.

If you do not want to donate, do not make an entry below.

If you do not have an overpayment (refund), but you want to donate to protect Ohios natural heritage, you can still do it. You can donate directly to these programs by writing them a check.
