KAREN's gift doubled before the end of the year

Your support before year's end will help protect birds.

Right now, the Rose-breasted Grosbeak is facing long-term declines—they've lost almost 30% of their population since 1970. And unfortunately they're not alone. Birds that spend part or all their lives alongside us have lost 50 million birds total, a cumulative loss of 26%.

Give Annually

But you can help make safe and sustainable communities for birds. We still need 171 new donors before midnight to help birds like the Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Will you become an annual donor today while our year end match is active? Please choose to provide the uninterrupted resources our teams can depend on year after year.

Community Birds Need You Now

Dear KAREN, Our warming climate is impacting hundreds of species of birds, including ones that can be found in our backyards, parks, and communities. The Rose-breasted Grosbeak is vulnerable to habitat loss and could lose 66% of its range under the most extreme warming scenario, if we don't work to do everything in our power. That's why we're coming to you right now. Thanks to a generous group of donors, we're matching all new gifts made by December 31st—up to $500,000. Can we count on you to be one of the 171 donors we need before midnight to stay on track? Please make an annual donation today and give birds protection they can depend on year after year.

Our Bird-Friendly Communities program works to provide birds with what they need to thrive—including food, shelter, safe passage, and places to raise young—in the communities that we share with them. Our work helps restore and revive habitats for many imperiled birds. Our rigorous research and over a century of expertise helps advance essential policies to protect birds and the places they need. We take bold climate action aimed at helping all birds who are vulnerable to our warming climate.

The Birds You Love Need Help

Species that spend part or all of their lives alongside us in and around our communities are at risk, with over 50 million birds lost since 1970.

Building collisions are estimated to kill up to a billion birds in the United States each year.

Rose-breasted Grosbeak populations have declined by 30% in the past 50 years.

But for us to have the greatest impact possible, we need all bird lovers with us before the end of the year. In fact, we'll match every new donation—up to $500,000—to give us the best start in the new year. Will you join us with an annual donation to help protect our community birds, like the Rose-breasted Grosbeak? Sincerely, National Audubon Society
