An anonymous donor gave $4 million to the Community Foundation of the Ozarks to strengthen the long-term stability of four Springfield-based environmental groups that promote outdoor recreation and preserve land and water resources for residents across the region. The donation was announced Thursday  on Earth Day  at the Watershed Center at Valley Water Mill Park. Leaders from each of the organizations gathered at the event to celebrate the endowments, made possible through a generous donor who does not wish to be identified, a CFO release said.  The donation established significant endowments for the James River Basin Partnership, Ozark Greenways, TrailSpring and the Watershed Committee of the Ozarks. These endowments will provide annual income for each organization while maintaining and increasing the principal, or corpus, amount for these organizations forever.
