BIRDS SA CONSERVATION FUND

Birds SA (The South Australian Ornithological Association Inc.) is the oldest organisation in Australia dedicated to birds. From its beginning in 1899 Birds SA has been a major force in increasing our understanding of Australian birds and preserving them for future generations. We are a voluntary Association, depending mainly on goodwill and membership fees to undertake our aims. We currently support projects and research on vulnerable birds in South Australia.

Birds SA recently established the Birds SA Conservation Fund, which allows us to accept tax-deductible donations and bequests. Please consider taking advantage of this Fund to make a lasting contribution to birds in the following ways:

Make a Donation - any amount of $2 or over is tax-deductible and will make an important contribution to furthering our aims and significantly contributing to our work. This can be a single payment or a regular deduction that can be cancelled at any time.

Remember us in your Will with a Bequest - if you have had a lifetime of pleasure from birds why not contribute to ensuring their future by remembering Birds SA in your will by making a simple addition: I leave

(a) the sum of $..........................., or

(b) (amount) percent of the residue of my estate, or

(c) the whole of the residue of my estate, or

(d) the following (description of items)

to the BIRDS SA Conservation Fund to be used to support the environmental purposes of The South Australian Ornithological Association Incorporated.

The receipt of the Committee of Management of the Conservation Fund will be sufficient discharge to my Executors.

Perhaps you could consider mourners contributing to Birds SA as a more fitting memorial than flowers. These would be significant acts for conservation that are not just for the wealthy because any amount will make a difference and will be put to good use in furthering the preservation of birds.

In Memoriam - donate a tax-deductible contribution to celebrate the life and commemorate someone who loved birds. Again this could be regarded as more fitting than the contribution of ephemeral flowers at the funeral.

Please consider using any or all of these options to further the work of Birds SA in preserving our heritage of wild birds. All are practical and worthwhile measures that will help the future of birds in South Australia.

Contributions can be anonymous or celebrated in the Birds SA Newsletter. We will also honour your wishes on how the money is to be used.
