Giving to the AOU

The AOU's ability to conduct the many activities described elsewhere on this website is greatly enhanced by annual donations and endowment gifts to provide support in perpetuity. We invite those for whom AOU has played a role in career development, and anyone else interested in furthering the science and profession of ornithology, to make donations to ensure AOU's future.

The AOU is a 501(c)(3) organization, and donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
