Audubon Arizona to Participate in Arizona Gives Day on April 7, 2020

Audubon Arizona is one of the more than 700 nonprofit organizations expected to participate in Arizona Gives Day, an online fundraising initiative on Tuesday, April 7, 2020. Presented by FirstBank, Arizona Gives Day will bring together Arizonans from across the state to raise awareness and financial support for nonprofit organizations statewide. 

Arizonans are encouraged to help make a difference by investing in the nonprofit of their choice. 

“Arizona Gives Day provides an opportunity for everyone to come together for the good of our fellow Arizonans in need. For those of us whose cause is conservation, Audubon Arizona works to bolster the state’s birds and save the places they need, today and tomorrow,” said Njambi Good, Interim Executive Director of Audubon Arizona. 

“Since the inaugural event in 2013, Arizona Gives Day has raised more than $17 million for Arizona nonprofits. Arizonans continue to show their commitment and support to nonprofits through their giving. We are excited for the 2020 Arizona Gives Day and to further showcase the important work our nonprofits are doing in our communities,” said Jennifer Purcell, Vice President of Community Engagement of the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits.

The Arizona Gives Day early giving will begin March 17 and continue through Arizona Gives Day, April 7.  Audubon Arizona, as a participating organization, will have the chance to win a portion of the $184,500 prize pool based on the engagement level of our supporters.

All Arizona Gives Day donations to Audubon Arizona will go directly to support a wide range of conservation work including bird science, habitat restoration, water policy, nature education and more.
