Hawk Mountain IDEA Fund
The Hawk Mountain IDEA Fund is designed to advance inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility at the Sanctuary by providing funds to encourage access and drive equity in the outdoors, support underrepresented communities in discovering the Sanctuary and raptors, and to address issues of representation and barrier removal. This fund is used as a strategy to change the narrative of raptor conservation and outdoor recreation.
All applications are subject to approval by the professional staff at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, please allow up to 3 weeks for approval.
