More than fifty percent of Audubon's annual budget is supported by individual contributions from members and supporters. Without your committed support, the incredible accomplishments of Audubon would not be possible.
There are many ways you can support Audubon:
Membership
Take the first step, decide to make a difference, and together we can protect the nature of Rhode Island and nearby southern Massachusetts.
•
Make an Annual Donation
Your generous donation, above and beyond membership dues, is the most important source of funding to continue the vital mission of Audubon.
•
Hawkes Legacy Circle - Planned Giving
A planned gift can give nature the helping hand it deserves. One of Audubon's life income arrangements can be tailored to fit your personal and financial circumstances through the Hawkes Legacy Circle.
•
1897 Society - Leadership Giving
An individual leadership gift of $1,000 or more is a strong statement that our work is truly meaningful to you.
•
Honorary & Memorial Gifts
Pay tribute to someone special with a gift in their honor or memory.
•
Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
If you or a family member are 70 ½ or older with an IRA, you can transfer a gift that will protect birds, wildlife and habitat directly to Audubon Society of Rhode Island without incurring tax consequences.
•
Sponsorship - Provide a Scholarship or Fund a Project
From sponsoring a child to attend summer camp; to a school bus so a classroom of school children can take part in an Audubon environmental education program; to supporting the critical habitat restoration at one of Audubon's 100 permanently protected lands; sponsorship helps support a specific project that interests you.
•
Corporate Sponsorship
Join Audubon's Corporate Partnership program and help us protect and preserve Rhode Island's open spaces. Your corporation will gain team-building and volunteer opportunities, membership benefits, facility access and exposure at events and on our website.
•
Double or Even Triple Your Donation With No Additional Cost to You
Many corporations match the gifts their employees give to non-profit and charitable organizations. These matching programs have been made part of many corporate giving initiatives both to extend the reach of corporate giving and to encourage employees to be actively involved in supporting their communities. Check with your Human Resources Department to see if they do, or would consider starting. If you'd like to make a matching gift, you may contact Julius Lundy at jlundy@asri.org or (401) 949-5454 x3018.
