2025 Birdathon Friends & Family Fundraising
Now - May 16
$11,499Raised of $40,000
Make every bird count
Birdathon is our biggest fundraiser of the year, with a 2025 peer-to-peer fundraising goal of raising $40,000 to protect birds in the Bay Area. Every dollar raised this year helps students at Title I schools connect with nature through our EcoEd program, mobilizes our volunteers to restore critical bird habitat, and supports our bird-friendly local advocacy efforts.
Become a Peer-to-Peer Fundraiser
Of all the ways to participate in this year’s Birdathon, creating your own fundraising campaign might be the most fun way to support local bird conservation! Also it's completely free and all birding skill levels are welcome to join in on the fun.
Birding between now and May 16th?
Create a fundraising goal and activity goal for yourself (think walkathon, but instead of logging your miles you'll log the number of bird species you observe, number of bird species you photograph, or number of birding hotspots you visit!) Then, create your fundraising page here! Share your page with friends and family, and move onto the most enjoyable part, going birding!
The How, When, and Where you decide to go birding is up to you, as long as it happens between now and May 16. Once you get going, you'll want to periodically update your activity progress and share it on your page. And that's it!
