The Urban Bird Collective has benefited greatly from the generous support of the Savaloja Fund. We've been able to support leadership development for our walk leaders, engaged hundreds of BIPOC community members to birding and created visibility for the need for safe spaces for the BIPOC and LGBT community. I will definitely be making a donation to support this important funding source.
