Red-headed Woodpecker.

2x Match: annual Donors Needed

MATCH ACTIVE: The birds we love are in trouble. You can help bring them back.

The Red-headed Woodpecker was once a very common species in eastern North America. But after losing half of its population in the past 50 years, this checkered bird is now uncommon in many regions. If we fail to take immediate action, even more could disappear. We’re fighting to bring the Red-headed Woodpecker and all beloved birds back, but we can’t continue our work to protect them without you.

We have an ambitious goal to reach by the end of this year, and we need 500 donors today to keep us on track. Will you be one of them? Start your annual gift before midnight while your first gift could be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $500,000, thanks to a group of generous donors. An annual gift is a convenient way to provide the uninterrupted resources our teams can depend on in their work to defend birds year after year.

Year End Match Active

With one-third of U.S. birds in need of conservation action, the situation is dire. But there’s hope in our collective action—and we have practical, effective solutions. Drawing on 120 years of expertise, we use research, advocacy, education, and on-the-ground conservation to protect birds and the places they need. Together with bird lovers like you, we’re restoring and improving the resilience of important landscapes, successfully advocating for climate legislation at the state and federal levels, transforming communities into places where birds flourish, and more.

But just how many birds we’re able to protect depends on the steady support from caring bird lovers like you. Please start your annual donation right away and your first gift could be matched for birds and the places they need. Hurry! This special offer expires at the end of the year.

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society
