Shopping, Round Ups, and More

Donations from individuals and companies are so important to funding our critical mission. But, there are many ways other than a straight cash donation for you to support our uncompromised animal care, conservation education programs, and endangered bird breeding initiatives.

We understand that you have the power to affect our animals’ lives and our mission in a variety of ways, and we are pleased to offer you several unique options that help save birds and protect their habitats.

Thank you for caring so deeply about the animals that call the National Aviary “home” and for supporting our conservation programs locally and abroad.

Corporate Matching Gifts & Matching Gifts

Inquire within your employee portal, Finance, or HR Department

Companies of all sizes match donations their employees (or family members) make to nonprofits because it’s an easy, structured way for them to support good work in their communities. Corporate Social Responsibility is an important factor in how the public perceives brands and companies these days. Corporate matching gift programs allow you to maximize the impact of your donation, but without having to reach back into your wallet to do so. Inquire with your company’s finance or HR department to see if they might double your donation, or let us know and we can inquire on your behalf.


In-Kind Donations

What are In-kind donations? An in-kind donation is a non-cash gift made to the National Aviary, including goods, services, time, and expertise. Individuals, corporations, and businesses can all make in-kind donations. We gladly accept habitat and animal care items if they are needed, but there may be items that we cannot accept. We cannot take donations of pet birds or injured birds. Please contact us first to check if we can accept an item.
