Support Audubon Minnesota >

Individuals who make gifts to Audubon Minnesota each year provide the cornerstone of our annual support. These gifts demonstrate a strong commitment to the mission of Audubon; each contribution sends a personal message confirming a belief in the importance of preserving and protecting birds, other wildlife, and critical habitat.

Support Equals Results
You can make a donation to support Audubon Minnesota’s overall work, or specify a particular program for your contribution.

• Support for Audubon Minnesota helps build the conservation ethic in young people.
• Support for science programs helps protect Important Bird Areas on the ground and our critical Mississippi River flyway.
• Support for policy helps promote responsible public policy that ensures the protection of our natural heritage.

We provide special benefits to donors who direct their Audubon contributions to support Audubon Minnesota. Membership in any of these societies is automatic once you reach a certain cumulative giving history during our fiscal year, July 1 to June 30.
