Endowments – A Real Tax Benefit!

Montana Audubon wants to ensure that there will always be a place for birds and wildlife in our state’s future. For this reason, our organization has established several permanent endowments to support its science, research, education, and policy programs. This perpetual source of funding will help sustain our mission into the future.

A valuable feature of Montana Audubon’s endowments is that gifts are permanent. Once money is placed in an endowment, only the investment income from the contribution is used. The original gift is never depleted, but continues to work for conservation, year after year.

In addition, Montana is one of only two states where contributing to an endowment is also tax deductible.

Montana Audubon Endowment Fund

The Montana Audubon Endowment Fund supports general operations— all of our programs benefit from it—including

  • Protecting Important Bird Areas;
  • Monitoring species of conservation concern;
  • Influencing decision makers about key legislation that impacts wildlife; and
  • Educating families and communities about the importance of wildlife and their habitats.
