Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Audubon’s mission?

    Audubon's mission is to protect birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow. We conserve and restore natural ecosystems, focusing on birds and their habitats, for the benefit of humanity and the earth's biological diversity.

  • How will my donation be used?

    Donations made to Audubon support our work across five core priorities: Coasts, Climate, Working Lands, Water, and Bird-Friendly Communities.
