Supporting the Friends of Blackwater
The Friends of
Blackwater is a nonprofit citizens' support group that helps the staff
at Blackwater Refuge pursue its educational, interpretive, and public-use missions. The raptor
cams are one of the Friends' most popular projects.
The Friends are run solely by volunteers, with no paid staff, and all our proceeds go towards funding programs at the Refuge.
Our efforts are especially helpful at a time when shrinking government budgets
offer fewer funds to the National Wildlife Refuge System.
If you enjoy the cams,
there are several ways that you can support the Friends of Blackwater in our ongoing
educational mission. You can become a member,
purchase merchandise from our Eagle Festival page,
purchase merchandise from
our Gift Store page, or make a donation.
If you want to send an online tax-deductible donation, please use our PayPal donation button below.
You do not need an account with PayPal to use their service, and
PayPal accepts all major credit cards, as well as foreign currencies. You can read more about donating through PayPal
on our Donation Policy page.
Please note: A donation will not make you a member; if you wish to receive member benefits, please use the membership application (PDF).
