BBO Big Birding Day 2025!

On May 20, the BBO staff will be finding as many species of birds as possible in a single day to raise money for bird conservation! This year our goal is to see over 100 species by the time the day is done.

Endowment Fundraiser

As a non-profit, the BBO relies on grants, casinos, and donations to continue the work we do, none of which can be counted on from year to year.

Security Donation

By donating securities (stocks, bonds or mutual funds) directly to a charity as opposed to selling them and donating the proceeds, the capital gains tax can be eliminated. This means more money for the charity and a greater charitable tax credit for you. In Alberta, in-kind gifts of shares and mutual funds may provide up to $240 of additional tax savings for every $1,000 of capital gain than would be the case if you sold the shares and gave the proceeds to charity. We encourage you to talk to your financial advisor before making such a donation.

** Tax receipts will be issued for Donations over $20.00. Mailing address must be provided.

We're a non-profit, and a registered charity. 100% of your donation will go towards our research, monitoring, and outreach programs.
