Ways To Give

Your donation goes to work right away, helping us care for hundreds of birds and animal friends every year at the Raptor Center of Tampa Bay.

Our mission is to build a wildlife rehabilitation facility in East Hillsborough County with a focus on birds of prey and Sandhill Cranes. Every year the demand for our services increases.

Wildlife rehabilitation organizations don’t receive any government funding but instead rely on the support of people like you.  Please consider making a one-time donation or recurring monthly donations today! We rescue almost 1,000 wild birds and animals each year.

There are other ways you can help. Visit our volunteer page for more information. 

We’re all in this together!
