University of Minnesota - Raptor Center

Your gifts are essential for The Raptor Center to continue our work. More than 60% of our operating budget comes from donations from individuals.

Your support helps:

• Rehabilitate sick and injured birds.

• Educate conservation-minded veterinarians and veterinary students.

• Underwrite the cost of our unique programs teaching the next generation the importance of environmental stewardship.

But that's not all. Your donations also support exciting studies that help us understand how changes in the natural world affect raptors and ultimately all living things including humans.

We are thrilled that the first $52,000 in gifts to The Raptor Center on Give to the Max Day will be matched by two loyal donor families: Rachel & Denny Hollstadt and the Sarah J. Andersen Fund of the Hugh J. Andersen Foundation.
