IBO General Fund
Your donation to IBO’s general fund supports important work such as the Lucky Peak fall migration project, student interns, marketing, newsletters, administrative needs, and more. IBO cannot continue to exist without your generous gifts to this important fund.
IBO Education and Outreach Fund
Your donation to the K-12 fund directly supports IBO’s K-12 education program, community outreach and events, and other IBO education program initiatives.
