About [Edit]
Mission
American Bird Conservancy (ABC) is a 501(c)(3), not-for profit organization whose mission is to conserve native wild birds and their habitats throughout the Americas.
Vision
We envision an Americas-wide landscape where diverse interests collaborate to ensure that native bird species and their habitats are protected, where their protection is valued by society, and they are routinely considered in all land-use and policy decision-making.
Niche
ABC is the only U.S.-based group with a major focus on bird habitat conservation throughout the entire Americas. ABC acts across the full spectrum of threats to birds to safeguard the rarest bird species, restore habitats, and reduce threats, unifying and strengthening the bird conservation movement.
How We Work
ABC advances bird conservation through direct action and by finding and engaging the people and groups needed to succeed, regardless of their political, economic, or social point of view. ABC seeks innovative, fair solutions to difficult issues.
ABC aspires to lead bird conservation by analyzing issues using the best available science; facilitating networks and partnerships; sharing information; developing and implementing collaborative strategies; and establishing measurable outputs..
Fiscal Responsibility
ABC promises to make the best use of your financial gift possible for the benefit of bird conservation. For six consecutive years, ABC has been rated a 4-Star, "Exceptional" charity by the independent group Charity Navigator; a status achieved by fewer than 1% of all U.S. charities. ABC is also certified by the Better Business Bureau.
Support
ABC is a membership organization and derives support from individual memberships, foundations, corporations, organizations, and government sources. Members receive ABC’s magazine, Bird Conservation and the ABC newsletter, Bird Calls, three times a year each. ABC also produces the email action and news alert, BirdWire, and the syndicated newsfeed, The Bird News Network
ABC has offices in The Plains, Virginia and Washington, D.C., and staff in field offices around the country.
