Donate

Your support of our education, interpretation, and research activities is more important than ever. Any amount you’re willing to donate will be greatly appreciated! Donations may be fully tax-deductible.

The San Francisco Bay Wildlife Society works to fund educational events, research and exhibits in cooperation with local, regional and state agencies. With federal cut-backs to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service budget, your funding of our environmental programs is very welcome.

For over 30 years, the San Francisco Bay Wildlife Society has:

• Introduced the refuge to tens of thousands of students of all ages
• Helped fund the Bair Island restoration and Management Plan, restoration work at Antioch Dunes NWR, and uplands restoration at the Environmental Education Center
• Provided weekend staff in Alviso through long-term partnerships with the City of San Jose and the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program
• Provided funding for a new boardwalk at the New Chicago Marsh Trail at the Environmental Education Center
• Funded a new greenhouse
• Provided funds to create a native plant nursery
• And much more

Take a visual tour of our achievements over the years and help us with our mission by donating to the Society.
