Make a Donation to support
Hamilton Falconwatch!
Falconwatch runs on the strength of its volunteers and the
strength of financial contributions from our community.
Your support helps us:
- Hire a Falconwatch Coordinator,
whose task is to organize and direct
the on-street Falconwatchers throughout the day, seven days a week,
until the chicks have safely fledged. Coordinators are university or
community college students or graduates who have some experience
with nature oriented field work and, if we are fortunate, hands-on
experience with raptors. Since many organizations that give grants will
not pay for salaries, your donations go first to funding this important position.
- Pay for equipment rentals, including the professional radios our
Falconwatch volunteers use to the Coordinator and other
volunteers aware of their activities when
tracking fledgling falcons through the skies of downtown Hamilton.
- Pay the operating costs of the Coordinator's cell phone and the
internet link to the computers in the Jackson Square display window.
- Pay for maintenance and upgrades of the computer and camera
equipment used to bring you our webcam images. Yes, we get a few
foundation and corporate donations to cover some of these things. But there are always
associated costs not covered by in-kind donations or grants.
- Pay for veterinary and consulting services for the falcons if/when needed.
- Fund the expansion of our efforts to educate the public about the
Peregrines.
It is neither trite, nor an overstatement, to say we could not do
this without you. So please take a moment to make a donation,
however large or small, to help us keep going! We have made it as
easy as we can. Now it's up to you. Please check out the
donation options to the right, and please tell your friends about us!
The opportunities here are nearly endless. The only limitation is
the funding we have available. So let's make it great!
