Each year the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society tries to raise all the money that we need to achieve our goals and our mission. We rely on donations from hundreds of individuals like you to support local interests in city council meetings and stakeholder forums, sponsor educational programs, and finance our recreational events, which foster public awareness of the importance of Santa Clara County's natural resources.

Often what might seem like a small amount of money to some of us has a huge impact in our environment and makes a big difference in the quality of life of the residents of Santa Clara County. For example:

$45 allows 32 students in underserved communities access to educational programs designed to develop stewardship for birds and their habitats, through the Audubon Adventure Classroom Kit. This is a professionally designed environmental education program for children in grades 3 to 6. Donate now.	$100 support the development of informational materials in various languages. This year we are translating web pages and educational materials into Spanish. Our chapter is reaching out to better serve our diverse community. Donate now.
$300 enables us to co-host one of the most important environmental festivals in this area, the Earth Day in Gilroy. Nearly 500 local families enjoy many fun activities, such as building birdhouses, painting flowerpots, and making arts and crafts related to nature. Donate now.	$700 supports the annual Christmas Bird Count encompassing four count circles in Santa Clara County. These counts allow our community to participate in the largest "citizen science" project in the nation, adding to our understanding of trends in North America's bird populations. Donate now.
$3,000 provides transportation every year to nearly 1,000 kids from underserved communities to visit the wetlands and learn about the importance of these ecosystems. This service is offered free of charge to children participating in our Wetlands Discovery Program. Donate now.	$5,000 supports our conservation and environmental advocacy work in Santa Clara County. Our staff participation in numerous environmental task forces and study groups is only made possible through your generous support of this work. Donate now.
