Giving
Be Joyful, Though You Have Considered All the Facts
Even in challenging times, nature inspires hope. Join Denver Audubon this Colorado Gives Day to protect birds and our shared planet.
“Be joyful though you have considered all the facts.”
— Wendell Berry
It’s no secret that this is a challenging time for many. Families are facing uncertainty, communities feel divided, and the weight of global and local issues can feel heavy. Yet in every season, nature reminds us that joy is still possible. Not because we turn away from what is difficult, but because we choose to notice beauty, connection, and wonder even in complicated times.
Every day, birds show us how to do this. They adapt, persist, and sing even when the skies are gray. They remind us that caring for the natural world also nurtures the human spirit. To protect birds is to protect life itself: clean air, clean water, healthy soil, and a thriving planet for all living beings.
At Denver Audubon, we believe hope is a form of stewardship and generosity is one of its most powerful expressions. Nearly half of our annual funding comes from individuals who believe in the power of nature to bring joy, curiosity, and community to our lives. That spirit is at the heart of Colorado Gives Day, a statewide celebration of kindness and possibility.
Early giving is underway now through December 9, and every gift counts toward the $1 million Incentive Fund that boosts all participating nonprofits. You can give early to help meet matching campaigns, including one that will unlock a major gift for new Kingery Nature Center exhibits. Or, give on Colorado Gives Day, Tuesday, December 9th and take part in the wave of generosity that day. There will be fun prizes and incentives to spur on the celebration. Donors who give $100 or more will be automatically entered for a chance to win Southwest Airlines tickets, and gifts made between 3 and 4 p.m. MST will help Denver Audubon compete for an extra $2,000 Power Hour prize.
In times like these, choosing joy is an act of courage, and giving is an act of hope. Together, we can care for birds, for each other, and for the planet we all share.
