Giving Opportunities
Our donors are special. They give from their hearts to the flock, because they love their own companion birds, or they understand Free Flight's mission and truly support our work in the community.
Free Flight is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) exotic bird sanctuary. We rely heavily on the support of our members and loyal donors to maintain an excellent quality of life for our birds. Please, consider joining this group of passionate supporters in offering a sheltering, nurturing environment for companion parrots at Free Flight.
Vehicle Donation Program
Free Flight accepts donations of cars, trucks, boats, and more through CARS, a fellow nonprofit! Our vehicle donation program has been a tremendous success in raising funds for our flock and putting old vehicles to good use. If you or someone you know has an unused vehicle, consider turning it into a tax-deductible gift to support our programs!
