Help us through donations for our research, education and service to the public

  • Our work continues only through grant, contract, and donation dollars.
  • Funding dollars for wildlife research is scarce.
  • You can help by donating money to keep our projects active and/or to fund the education of students who will lead wildlife conservation efforts in not-so-distant future years.
    • $150 pays some of costs to genetically type one hummingbird, mountain lion, Yellow-billed Magpie, Sea Otter, or Hummingbird (as a few of our examples).
    • $1000 pays sequencing costs for a DNA section in 15 hummingbirds
    • $6500 pays for the stipend of a graduate student working on wildlife genetics/population health research for one academic quarter. Graduate student participation is vital for creative insights to conservation research and is our society's future!
    • $10,000 pays for a piece of important laboratory equipment such as gradient PCR machine.
    • $20,000 pays for one year's laboratory supplies for research on one wildlife species.
  • The excellent quality our lab is known for requires financial resources that are scarse in this economic climate.

    Your thoughtful donation is vital for our continued work!
