1897 Leadership Society
Named for the year of Audubon's founding, the 1897 Society honors those essential stakeholders who invest more than $1,000 annually to help the Audubon Society of Rhode Island advance its mission of protecting birds, other wildlife and their habitats through conservation, education, and advocacy. As a leading member of our supporter base, you can take satisfaction that your contributions have an immediate and lasting impact on the people, wildlife and natural beauty of Rhode Island.
Your annual individual leadership gift of $1,000 or more is a strong statement that our work is truly meaningful to you and you want to partner with us to make a difference for birds, wildlife and school children around the state. The 1897 Society celebrates leadership giving at the following levels:
| Leader | $1,000 to $2,499 |
| Advocate | $2,500 to $4,999 |
| Conservator | $5,000 to $7,499 |
| Benefactor | $7,500 to $9,999 |
| Visionary | $10,000+ |
