Support Wingspan - Help Us Protect New Zealand's Birds of Prey
Wingspan's conservation work doesn't run on goodwill alone. It runs on the generosity of people and organisations who believe that the kārearea, the ruru, and New Zealand's other extraordinary birds of prey deserve a future.
Every membership, every sponsorship, every volunteer hour, and every gift — large or small — goes directly into the hands-on work of protecting, breeding, and rehabilitating New Zealand's most threatened raptors. Here's how you can be part of it.
Join Our Wingspan Community
Becoming a Wingspan member is one of the most direct ways to support raptor conservation in New Zealand. Members receive free admission to the Flight of the Falcon all year round, a membership pin, and the annual Wingspan journal - and know that their support is keeping the kārearea in our skies.
Make a Donation
Every dollar donated to Wingspan goes directly into the care, breeding, and rehabilitation of New Zealand's birds of prey. Whether it's a one-off gift or a regular contribution, your donation funds the hands-on conservation work that keeps the kārearea flying in the wild. Donations of $5 or more are tax-deductible within New Zealand.
If you are a business looking to make a meaningful charitable contribution, we would love to hear from you. Get in touch with our team to discuss how your support can make a difference.
Sponsor a Bird of Prey
From wild falcons in the field to resident birds in our care, your sponsorship funds the daily work of feeding, housing, training, and rehabilitating New Zealand's birds of prey. Name your bird, receive a personalised photo certificate, and know your support is making a tangible difference. Tax-deductible within New Zealand.
Volunteer
Behind every flying display, every public event, and every conservation project is a team of dedicated volunteers who give their time because they care. Wingspan welcomes volunteers with a wide range of skills and availability. If you are passionate about New Zealand's birds of prey and want to get involved, we would love to hear from you.
Leave a Legacy
A gift in your will to Wingspan Birds of Prey Trust is one of the most powerful things you can do for New Zealand's raptors. Legacy gifts fund the long-term conservation work that keeps our programmes running for generations to come. If you share our belief that the kārearea deserves a future, we would love to talk to you about leaving a lasting contribution to that future.
