Donate Today!

There’s still time to make your year-end gift to Mass Audubon! Enjoy a tax deduction for this year, and help us protect wildlife and wild lands in 2014.

Your donation is an investment in a vital and enduring legacy: more than 35,000 acres protected statewide, for the lasting benefit of people and wildlife.

These lands are home to an amazing variety of wildlife, including 159 state-listed endangered species. Your gift today will also benefit wildlife beyond the borders of our sanctuaries.

Recent news coverage has highlighted Mass Audubon’s work to protect snowy owls. These spectacular birds are drawn to airports, perhaps because the terrain resembles the arctic tundra, but can pose a danger to aircraft.

To protect both birds and jets, Norman Smith, director of Mass Audubon’s Blue Hills Trailside Museum, safely captures, tags, and relocates snowy owls each year—more than 20 so far this season, and 500 since the program began.

The snowy owl project is just one example of what your support makes possible! A generous year-end gift of $35, $75, $100, or even more will provide vitally important funds for Mass Audubon conservation, land protection, education, and advocacy programs across the state.

Plus, donate $35 or more and receive two free gifts:

• Places to Explore, our new full-color guide to Mass Audubon’s wildlife sanctuaries, nature centers, and museums.
• Peterson FlashGuides® to Backyard Birds, an easy-to-use reference.

First there was Black Friday. Then came Cyber Monday. The newest addition: Giving Tuesday.

The campaign, which takes place on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, is an opportunity to “celebrate and encourage charitable activities that support nonprofit organizations.”

We know there is no shortage of fantastic organizations worthy of your donation, but we would like the privilege of making a case for choosing us!

Five Reasons Give to Mass Audubon on Giving Tuesday…

WILDLIFE. More than 150 endangered and threatened native species call these lands home.

KIDS. Outdoors, unplugged, getting dirty, having fun, learning to love the natural world.

ADULTS. Dedicated members, friends, and volunteers, protecting the nature of Massachusetts.

YOU. For your donation of $35 ($1 for every 1,000 acres protected), we’ll give you two free gifts to help you see first-hand the wildlife and wild lands you are helping to protect:

• Places to Explore, our new full-color guide to Mass Audubon’s wildlife sanctuaries, nature centers, and museums.
• Peterson FlashGuides® to Backyard Birds, an easy-to-use reference when visiting a sanctuary or exploring your neighborhood.
