WE DID IT!
With just under a month to go in the $5,000 Savaloja Fund Challenge, we’ve already met our goal! Today’s donation total is $5,220, which means we’ve unlocked the $5,000 match for a total of $10,220 in donations added to the Savaloja Fund!
A most sincere thank-you to the generous donors that made this possible. If you were thinking of donating but hadn’t gotten around to it yet, the fundraiser will remain open through the Paper Session on December 4, which means we’ll continue to add your donations on top of today’s total. And be sure to keep your eye on Thursday, November 18, which is Give to the Max Day.
The Minnesota Ornithologists' Union (MOU) has been dedicated to fostering the science, conservation, and enjoyment of Minnesota's birds since 1938. One of its main functions is to provide funding to students, educators, researchers, and other groups and individuals in need of resources to complete their contributions to this same goal. The MOU does this by offering grants from its Savaloja Memorial Fund, named in honor of longtime Minnesota birder and Roberts Award recipient Terry Savaloja who died in 1992.
Although many projects receive funding each year, we're not able to fund them all and our resources to do so are finite. Help us continue to provide these important grants by donating today. Anonymous donors have generously offered a matching grant up to $5,000, which means if we receive $5,000 in donations this fall we unlock up to a total of $10,000 added to the Savaloja fund!
