Donate to the Indiana Nongame Wildlife Fund

Help our nongame and endangered wildlife

There are more than 150 Species of Greatest Conservation Need in Indiana that need your help. Habitat management and conservation programs for these species are supported through the generosity of Hoosiers who donate to the Indiana Nongame Wildlife Fund. No state tax dollars are used to manage these species.

Your donation helps animals such as the endangered barn owl (Video: Live Nest Cam), Allegheny woodrat (Video: Allegheny Woodrats in Southern Indiana) and Eastern hellbender (Video: Releasing Hellbenders in the Blue River).

How to donate:

• On your Indiana state taxes. If filing with paper forms, use Schedule 5/Schedule IN-Donate. This video shows the process. If donating through online tax programs, you will be prompted to donate at the end of filing.
• Donate online with Visa, MasterCard or Discover. The form is secure.
