HawkWatch International Joins Innovative Donation Program

HawkWatch International (HWI) has been selected as one of 31 premier charities to participate in an innovative new donor support method. CHANCEtoGIVE, a non-profit organization that supports strong charities, will now receive donations on behalf of their partners through their website, CHANCEtoGIVE.org, or through the first-ever iPhone charity donation application, chance2GIVE.

CHANCEtoGIVE is a non-profit organization that promotes great charities, attracts donations for those charities, and makes donating easier for donors. The organization features charities that have passed a stringent charity selection process, thus ensuring a selection that is diverse in size, location, cause, and area of influence. CHANCEtoGIVE promotes 12 top performing charities in each of 4 causes: Children, Community & Family; Animals & Environment; Health & Wellness; and Worldwide Disaster Relief.

“We are honored to have been selected as a charity beneficiary in the CHANCEtoGIVE campaign,” say Emilie Turner, HWI Development Director. “Participation in the campaign will help raise the funds necessary to address pressing ecological threats to birds of prey and the world we share.”

HawkWatch International is a Salt Lake City-based nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving the environment through education, long-term monitoring, and scientific research on raptors as indicators of ecosystem health.
