Your generous contributions are the cornerstone of our legacy, allowing us to carry out our mission of bringing Hoosiers together to enjoy birds in their natural habitats. If you want to help Indiana Audubon in ways other than unrestricted donations or program-specific gifts, there are several options.

Employer Matching Gifts
You can boost Indiana Audubon’s conservation efforts at no extra cost by joining an employer matching gift program. If your employer or your partner’s offers matching gifts, your contribution could make double the impact.
Each year, billions in potential matching gifts go unclaimed because donors are unaware of this benefit. Ask your company about matching gifts to maximize your support. To check if your employer participates, visit our donation page, select “Get my company to match my donation,” and enter your employer’s name. For questions, email Brad Bumgardner at [email protected].
Stock Donations
Support Indiana Audubon’s mission by donating stock. By giving appreciated stock, you can avoid capital gains tax and claim a charitable deduction for the full market value, reducing your taxable income. We’ve partnered with DonateStock for a quick, secure, and free transaction. Visit DonateStock to learn more.
Qualified Charitable Donations
Make your love for birds part of your legacy! If you’re 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free donation from your IRA directly to Indiana Audubon. Qualified Charitable Donations (QCDs) allow you to give without paying income tax—an easy way to support what you care about. Please email Brad Bumgardner at [email protected] to get the information you need to share with your IRA provider.
