In-Kind Donation Request
The Audubon Society of Rhode Island takes pride in our support of local organizations working toward causes in line with our mission and who work to enrich our community. We assist 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in Rhode Island and Massachusetts that focus primarily on environmental conservation and education and consider institutions that directly improve the welfare of children in need and/or enhance environmental education for young people.
Donations typically take the form of a one-year membership to the Audubon Society of Rhode Island (a $50 value).
We do not give to:
- Individuals
- Organizations that are not a registered 501c3
- Private or Parochial Schools
- Religious Organizations
- Political Organizations
- Family Foundations
- Medical Research
- Booster Clubs or Athletic Teams
- Organizations outside of our giving area
- Independent or Third-Party Fundraisers: These are organizations or events that support other individuals or organizations (ex. Fun Run to Support John Doe, Bike Ride to Support the ABC Foundation)
If you would like to request a donation, please fill out the form below and attach your 501(3)c documents. Decisions on donations are made on a rolling basis and may take up to thirty days to process. The organization requesting the donation will be contacted by email, regardless of whether or not the request is approved. If approved, you will receive the one-year household membership via mail. Please allow one-week delivery if you are approved for a donation.
