Audubon Nature Institute is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. Because Audubon receives virtually no government funding for daily operations we rely on admission fees, facility rentals and the generosity of donors to help feed and care for our animals, improve exhibits, maintain our parks and provide the level of excellence that our community has come to expect and richly deserves.
