How to Support a Team
Donate to a Team
View the leaderboard below and click "view all" under either column and click on the team you would like to support! Note — You cannot pledge per species when donating to a team.
Donate to a Specific Team Participant Click on the donate button above, choose "give credit to a fundraiser or team", and find the name of the participant you wish to support. You will then have the option to "Pledge per Bird Species" or make a "One-Time Donation" (see the difference below).
Pledge Per Bird Species vs. One-Time Donation
Our Birdathon fundraisers have each set a personal goal for themselves to observe a specific amount of bird species during their campaign. To support their efforts, you have two options.
1. Pledge per species observed — The most exciting way to donate to a fundraiser is by making a pledge to their campaign based on their bird species observed goal (Ex: Ryan's bird species observed goal is 50 birds. I would like to make pledge $1 for every bird species ryan observes based on his goal of 50.) Directly after pledging, you will receive an email confirming your pledge. Then around the close of Birdathon (May 16) you’ll receive another email reminding you of your pledge and your final donation amount based on the activity outcome of the fundraiser you chose to support. Two days after this reminder email your card will be charged for the donation and you will receive an official receipt. You will have the option to edit your pledge before you’re charged!
Flat Donation — If you would prefer to make a one-time donation to a fundraiser that's great too! Input the amount you would like to donate to their campaign and feel good that your donation is being used to protect birds in the Bay Area! Your card will be charged directly after you make the flat donation and you will be sent an official receipt.
