Project Funding

The Museum is pleased to announce that the goal of $1.8 million needed to complete the Bird Hall has been reached. However, as a private nonprofit organization that does not receive local, state, or federal government funding for our operations, the Museum depends on private donations from individuals and organizations. By choosing to sponsor a bird mount now on view in the Bird Hall, you are enabling the Museum to continue to provide quality, state-of-the art educational experiences to our visitors. Bird mounts are sponsored on a first-come first-served basis, as there is generally only one specimen of the listed birds on display in the new hall. Continue to support the Dennis M. Power Bird Hall by sponsoring your favorite bird today!

For more information about sponsoring a bird contact Caroline Grange at 805.682.4711 ext.109 or at cgrange@sbnature2.org or download the form to mail.
