You can help save raptors and protect our environment! Providing world-class medical care for injured birds of prey is made possible thanks to generous donations from the public. You also empower us to provide training for future veterinarians and wildlife rehabilitators, workshops and public education programs, and community outreach experiences that reach thousands annually. In addition, you are providing essential resources for conservation research that will give future generations the opportunity to experience raptors in the wild and enjoy our shared ecosystems.
Over 60% of our budget, and 100% of our clinic work, is funded through donations from public support.
