The Great Give

Help support birds and the places they need, as Audubon Connecticut participates in a 36-hour online giving event hosted by The Community Foundation of Greater New Haven

Your giving will make a greater impact on May 4 and 5!

Beginning at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, May 4 through Wednesday, May 6, 2021 at 8 p.m. Audubon Connecticut has the opportunity to raise much-needed funds to support our work that is critical to bird and habitat conservation and education. We need your help to continue to take on the challenges that affect birds, the environment, and local people!

It’s not just what you give, it’s when you give too! During this 36-hour giving event, we have an opportunity to be awarded additional funds based on when you give. We will be focusing on winning these two prizes.

  • May 4 from 5-7 p.m. - May the Fourth Be With You Happy Hour Double Draw - Two organizations will be randomly drawn to receive the May the Fourth Be With You Happy Hour Double Draw Prizes of $1,500 each. All organizations receiving at least one gift between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on May 4 are eligible. The more gifts an organization receives, the greater chance it has to be drawn!
  • May 5 from 12-2 p.m. - Lunch Hour May 5 - Two organizations will be randomly drawn to receive the Lunch Hour Prizes of $1,500. All organizations receiving at least one gift between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. on May 5 are eligible. The more gifts an organization receives, the greater chance it has to be drawn!

Ready to give now? Advance giving is now open. Advance gifts count toward match calculations, but are not counted toward hourly prize incentives that take place on May 5 and 6. Your donation of any kind will make a difference.

Thank you for your support and shared dedication to nature!
