We received this award in 2016 as well, for contributing to the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund. The Friends invites everyone to copy this donation!
Donating to the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund is among the most cost-effective, direct, and successful investments in conservation that anyone can make. Ninety-eight cents of every dollar raised goes directly to acquire wetland and grassland habitat for the US National Wildlife Refuge System. Since 1934, more than $850 million has been raised through this program to purchase or lease more than 6 million acres. The Migratory Bird Conservation Fund is the account within the Refuge System into which Duck Stamp monies are deposited.
