New things are hatching at the World Center for Birds of Prey!
Get nose-to-beak with Peregrine Falcons as you climb into their nest, fall in love with owls, eagles, and vultures as they swoop overhead in our outdoor classroom, and become a scientist considering solutions to engineering problems while studying hawks perched atop a power pole.
In this $3.2 million expansion of the World Center for Birds of Prey, you can do all of this and more. Keep reading to learn how you can become a permanent part of our education and conservation programs!

Together we can create deeper STEM-learning opportunities

Become a permanent part of our future as we work together to save species and inspire the next generation!
Thanks to the inspiring generosity and leadership from local businesses, community leaders, and foundations from across the west, we've raised 84% of our construction goal for this capital project. Now we are turning to you, our amazing community, to help bring this incredible new educational asset home.
The cornerstone of this phase of the campaign is the opportunity to inscribe your name into the history of the World Center for Birds of Prey. The engraved bricks will be placed in a prominent location where you and your family can find it for decades to come.
Personalize YOUR brick today!
You can become a permanent part of our new outdoor classroom by sponsoring one of eighteen benches for $5,000 or one of four raptor perches for $10,000 that will be used for daily outdoor flight experiences that capture the imaginations of students as they begin to see themselves as scientists and conservationists!
Call or email Heather Meuleman, at meuleman.heather@peregrinefund.org or (208) 362-8240 to secure your sponsorship before this limited opportunity is gone.
Our campaign relies on support for the short and long terms. We are also welcoming legacy gifts and gifts of stock for the campaign. These gifts can support construction in the short-term or support the educational endowment for the World Center, which supports our programming growth over the coming decades as the Center continues to expand to serve more people in our community.
