National Aviary Sustaining Membership

Become a Monthly Donor

Caring for birds and mammals is still our top priority during these uncertain times. Please consider helping today. Through your monthly donation, we can continue providing for animals at the National Aviary, as well as sustain our educational programming. Together, we can save birds and protect their habitats.

The National Aviary is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that depends on donations from individuals, corporations and foundations. Your gift will go towards the daily care of the more than 500 animals that reside at the Aviary, education and outreach, operation of our top-notch veterinary hospital, and/or our conservation and field research efforts.

At this time, we are requesting that your gift be directed to the General Operating Fund to be used for our greatest need.

Enjoy these great benefits for the duration of your recurring gift:

• Receive a complimentary subscription to BirdCalls, the National Aviary’s seasonal online publication, and Airmail, our e-newsletter.
• Invitations to exclusive birding events, ecotourism opportunities, and special events
• Show off your support with your choice of a National Aviary reusable static cling
