River Center Endowment

The Dungeness River Audubon Center Endowment was established to provide a perpetual source of income that helps sustain ongoing operations of the Center and Railroad Bridge Park. With your help, we can ensure that generations of children and adults will have a chance to learn the importance of protecting and enjoying our natural places.

Our Vision: The Dungeness River Audubon Center’s environmental education and stewardship programs shall be handed from generation to generation for the good of the community.

Our Goal: To raise an Endowment Fund of $5 Million that will help ensure the sustainability of the Dungeness River Audubon Center and Railroad Bridge Park.

Our Promise: To use the Endowment Fund responsibly to maintain the high quality of the River Center’s programs, staff, and facilities.
