Birds, Habitats, Kids, and YOU
Protect and inspire in 2024
Join us for a day of giving back! The Big Share is a day of online giving for 70 member organizations of Community Shares of Wisconsin, all focused on social and environmental justice. Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance is honored to be one of them.
We helped birds AND people in 2023! Our organization has provided programs, inspiration, and land for exploring throughout the past year and we need to increase our impact in the year to come. That's why our goal is to raise at least $20,000 during this year's Big Share.
By donating, you can make a BIG difference for local birds, kids, and lands. No matter what the amount—$5 or $1,000—your donation is important and valuable. As an added bonus, Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance Board and Friends have chipped in to offer a $11,650 MATCH—they will match your donation dollar for dollar until we reach $11,650, doubling your gift to birds (BIG thanks to our Board and Friends Match donors: Darcy Kind & Marc Vitale, Matt Krueger, Lisa Lepeak, Liz Abel, Stacey & Walter Meanwell, and Jean & Walter Meanwell).
Resident birds like owls and cardinals have made this winter magical; migrating birds are already returning to our area as spring approaches. Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance is thrilled to share the wonders of birds with new audiences through in-person programming; habitat protection for wildlife; and ensuring that everyone can enjoy the beautiful outdoors and its amazing birds.
