| Ways of Supporting Audubon Vermont
Your tax-deductible gift supports
the projects and programs that help us achieve our mission

supporting our work in conservation and education throughout
the state. It is now easier than ever to support Audubon
Vermont!
Gifts to Audubon Vermont may be made in a variety of forms,
including cash, securities, and real estate, or through planned

to support local programs. Thank

Living Tribute Program
Make a contribution to Audubon Vermont in memory of a
loved one or to honor someone special. What better way
to honor the environmentalist in your life than by giving
the gift of preserving the natural environment?
Let the memory of a special
person live on through our Living Tribute Program. Giving
a contribution in
the name
of someone who has passed away is a beautiful way to
pay tribute to his or her love of nature. The memory
of a loved
one lives on in our sanctuaries, our educational outreach,
our science programs and all of our other efforts to
protect birds, wildlife and habitat.
You can give contributions in honor of anniversaries,
birthdays, graduations, weddings, or other special
occasions. A contribution
given in someone's honor is a beautiful way of commemorating
a special day or event, or just giving thanks for someone
special in your life.
When you give an honorarium or
memorial gift, the person honored or the family of the
person memorialized will
receive an acknowledgement of your tax deductible
gift. Your token
of appreciation recognizes that person's contribution
to Vermont's environment at the same time that it
broadens and continues their legacy by supporting to
Audubon
Vermont's
work.
Matching Gifts Program
Make your gift go twice, or even three times as far.
If you work for a matching gift company, they will match
the dollars you donate. It's really that simple. It's usually just
a matter of filling out a form. Ask your company's human
resources representative for a matching gift form, fill out your
portion, and enclose it with your gift.
