Give money, warm birds

Donate to Lint for Nests

Lint keeps the birds warm, but money keeps the lint moving. Your gift funds sorting tables, sanitation cycles, jar deposits, and the modest stipend of our one part-time driver, Gary.

For distinguished navels

The Golden Navel Circle

Our most devoted supporters give $2,500 a year and receive what money can rarely buy: recognition among peers who understand. Members are invited to the annual Sorting Gala in Oskaloosa, receive priority naming rights during warbler season, and are listed, or pointedly not listed, in the annual report according to their wishes.

Membership is by inquiry. A senior gift officer will contact you discreetly, as is our way.
