To support us in our efforts and help us meet the need for a steady, ongoing source of funds, a special group of BirdLife Australia supporters formed the Wildbird Fund. This regular giving program enables us to streamline our administrative processes and reduce costs.

Importantly, your monthly gifts enable us to plan ahead, which means that when your contributions are received they go directly to where they’re needed – to our vital conservation work to protect and preserve Australia's native birds and the habitats that support them.

Join the Wildbird Fund and become a regular donor today - it is one of the best ways to support Australia’s birds.

To become a Wildbird Fund donor, you can join easily online or you can authorise BirdLife Australia to either:

• Charge a nominated amount to your credit card each month OR
• Direct debit a nominated amount from your bank account each month

Contributions to Wildbird Fund are tax-deductible and can be altered or cancelled at any time, with a phone call or by writing to us. A consolidated tax-deductible receipt will be forwarded at the end of each financial year.

Wildbird Fund donors are kept informed of our achievements through our regular e-News as well as our annual State of Australia's Birds report.

Want to take part in a twitchathon? Keen to take on a physical challenge and support Australia’s native birds at the same time? Looking for a memorable way to mark a special birthday or anniversary? Or perhaps you want to celebrate the life of a special person.

Whatever the reason, BirdLife Australia would be privileged to have you raise money on our behalf.

The simplest way to fundraise for us is to set up a free, personalised fundraising page on the GoFundraise website.

It’s easy to create your own page, where your friends, colleagues and family can make secure donations online. Your donors can leave messages of support on your page, and everyone can see how you're progressing towards your fundraising target. Donors get a thank-you email and receipt, and the donation is transferred automatically to BirdLife Australia.

If you need any help setting up your page, please contact us. And thank you – volunteering your time to fundraise on our behalf will help us to continue our work of protecting Australia’s birdlife and their habitats.

Your support helps us take actions that create positive outcomes for birds and their habitats. Donating to BirdLife Australia allows us to develop and deliver practical actions for protecting our native birds.

Every conservation problem has a solution: we successfully combine leading-edge technology with good, old-fashioned field work to safeguard Australia’s birds and their habitats.
Habitat loss, climate change and feral animal predation are real challenges to the survival of Australia’s native birds and are perils they face on a daily basis.

BirdLife Australia is working to understand and reduce these threats through a wide range of conservation programs – and we are making a difference. However, while these threats remain and our unique birdlife continues to come under pressure, we need to maintain our practical efforts to protect them.
