Help Our Future Take Flight
Give today and have your donation doubled through a $45,000 matching gift.
This North Texas Giving Day, help Blackland Prairie Raptor Center move into the future by investing in the three pillars that make our mission possible: Raptor Rehabilitation, Prairie Restoration, and Community Education.
Our goal is to raise:
Our Raptor Rehabilitation program is having a record-breaking year, with more than 700 patients already admitted. We have never had to turn away bird simply because we did not have the resources to care for it, and we never want to. But as patient numbers continue to grow, we urgently need more space. Your support can help us build a dedicated nursery where baby raptors and other vulnerable patients can receive the specialized care they need to grow, heal, and ultimately return to the wild.
Through Prairie Conservation, we are protecting and restoring the Blackland Prairie habitat that raptors and countless other species depend on. Funds raised for our conservation team will help support native habitat restoration, land management, invasive species control, and the long-term stewardship needed to keep this rare ecosystem healthy for generations to come.
And through Community Education, we are investing in improvements that will allow us to serve our community more safely and consistently throughout the year. Thousands of children and adults visit BPRC each year to meet our ambassador raptors, explore the prairie, and learn why protecting wildlife matters. Texas heat, rain, storms, and other weather conditions can limit or cancel these experiences, so we are working to create and equip a reliable, weather-protected education space. Planned improvements also include repairing damaged and uneven concrete in areas used by guests, staff, volunteers, and program participants, helping make our facility safer and more accessible.
Even better, a generous donor has provided a $45,000 matching gift, giving you the opportunity to make your support go even further. A $50 gift can become $100, $100 can become $200, and $250 can become $500 while matching funds are available.
Help us raise $25,000 for the nursery, $25,000 for conservation education, and $10,000 for prairie conservation.
Build the nursery. Restore the prairie. Strengthen conservation education.
Your North Texas Giving Day gift is an investment in the future of BPRC—and in the future of the wildlife, wild spaces, and communities we serve.
