Contribute a Twig

This week is fundraising week at BirdNote. Today, we’re asking you to support the show by making a gift of any amount. A donation to BirdNote is like a twig in a nest. Birds can’t lay their eggs on a twig, but when hundreds of twigs are weaved together, you have a safe and cozy place for baby birds to hatch and fledge. So think about contributing a twig to the nest that will fledge our next episode.

This is BirdNote.
This week, we’re asking you to consider supporting the show at BirdNote.org.

BirdNote’s powerful storytelling is only possible because of financial support from listeners like you. With the research, writing, editing, fact checking, and sound design that goes into every story, it costs about $1,200 to produce each new episode that airs on stations like yours.
Think about it this way: If 100 listeners go to BirdNote.org and pledge support for $10 a month, that will pay for 10 whole episodes over the course of the next year. You’ll be helping to educate, uplift, and inspire people all across the country.

So think about contributing a twig to the nest that will fledge our next episode. A one-time gift of any amount, or recurring monthly support of $10, $20, or even $50 will make a big difference. Just visit BirdNote.org today.
