AMB Alumni Fund

Purpose of the Campaign

The Audubon Master Birder (AMB) Alumni Fund strengthens one of Denver Audubon’s most respected and impactful programs by providing flexible, annual support for the needs of the AMB community.

While past Colorado Gives Day efforts focused solely on scholarships, this new fund allows the AMB Committee to direct support where it will have the greatest impact each year. By giving to the AMB Alumni Fund, donors help ensure that the program continues to grow, innovate, and inspire the next generation of community scientists and bird conservation leaders.

Your gift to the AMB Alumni Fund may support:

• Scholarships or tuition assistance for future students

• Speaker or honoraria fees

• Program development, new curriculum, and field experiences

• Alumni engagement events and advanced learning opportunities

• Marketing and outreach to expand participation

• Vehicle-related needs or other field trip support

• Other priority needs identified by the AMB Committee and Denver Audubon

This fund keeps AMB strong, inclusive, and ready to inspire for years to come.

Our Goal: $5,000

This Colorado Gives Day, we aim to raise $5,000 to launch the AMB Alumni Fund and provide the committee with meaningful resources to support AMB’s future.

To help us reach this goal, the AMB Committee has generously offered a $1,000 matching challenge. The first $1,000 in gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar—doubling your impact!

Why Your Gift Matters

The Audubon Master Birder program has shaped hundreds of highly skilled, deeply committed birders who give back to Denver Audubon and the broader conservation community. From leading walks and teaching classes to supporting community science and conservation efforts, AMB graduates are central to our mission.

Your gift ensures that:

• Cost is never a barrier to participation

• Alumni and students continue to receive high-quality educational experiences

• The program has the resources it needs to innovate, adapt, and grow

• The AMB community remains a vibrant source of leadership, knowledge, and connection

Every donation—no matter the size—helps keep this transformative program thriving.
