How to Contribute

Audubon Arizona is a not-for-profit organization and is the State Office of the National Audubon Society. Audubon Arizona donors will receive our bi-annual newsletter and the National Audubon Society’s award-winning magazine for one year. Meet great, like-minded people and conservation leaders in your area, and participate in local advocacy efforts to help make a real difference.

Contributions
All contributions are fully tax-deductible to the extent of the law. With your support, we will be able to continue to offer innovative, inspiring programs.

Bequests
A gift through your will can be an appealing way to make a lasting difference for the cause you care about. Your gift is made only with the money that is left after your lifetime needs have been met. Consider putting aside a percentage for charitable gifts. Percentage bequests are particularly convenient because you will not know the total value of your estate in advance. By using a percentage, the dollar amounts will automatically adjust to the size of your estate.

Please make checks payable to:

Volunteer Opportunities

Education
Audubon Arizona has developed several exciting programs both in and outside of the classroom. Help guide students as they learn about the natural world, and you’ll probably learn something new yourself. Classes range in age from grades 3-12. Many of our programs occur on the banks of the Rio Salado and focus on the riparian ecosystem there. We have a fun (but very small) enthusiastic group that enjoys sharing the wonders of nature with kids. Please join us!

Training: 2 hours.
Commitment: minimum 2 hours monthly.
Time: Fall-Spring
