Support


Gifts from bird lovers, conservationists, and educators like you allow us to fulfill our mission to ignite a passion for raptors and a responsibility for our shared natural world.  
 
Over 10,000 birds of prey have been rehabilitated at our Raptor Hospital and released back into the wild since the first Broad-winged Hawk was brought to UNC Charlotte ornithologist Richard Brown in 1975. Our 30+ avian ambassadors on the Raptor Trail inspire generations of students of all ages to build an interest in animal welfare, the environment, and STEM education.  
 
Your gift helps us provide medical care to injured raptors, ensuring the greater Charlotte region has a healthy ecosystem with osprey, owls, vultures, hawks, and eagles.  
 
Your gift enables students from Title 1 schools to have nose-to-beak experiences with an Andean Condor, King Vulture, and Red-legged Seriema on our ¾ mile Raptor Trail. 
 
Your gift allows our experienced staff to live out their passions for lives of purpose while working with these amazing birds of prey.

Your gift makes a difference!

Donor Flock


We can fly high on our own, but we can soar farther together. Our Donor Flock is driven by the shared understanding that a little bit each month goes a long way and together we can build great things. Once or twice a year during rewards months we will offer Carolina Raptor Center branded items as thanks to the members of the Donor Flock. 

We understand that inspiration can come from anywhere and you may wish to give to a particular program that is special to you. Please follow the links below to learn more about other ways to direct your support. 

You can start a new recurring donation through the Annual fund or any of the Support a Species, On-Site Facilities, and Jim Warren Honorarium campaigns at the bottom of the page. Just be sure to select recurring and monthly on the donation screen to join the Flock!
