The gifts you make through Birds Canada support important work for birds across the country. Thank you for your generous contributions!

The James L. Baillie Memorial Fund is one way your support is put into action. The fund channels proceeds from the annual Great Canadian Birdathon and private donations to research, conservation, and outreach projects that help birds. Baillie Fund grants are awarded competitively to successful applicants by independent trustees.

We’re pleased to announce this year’s Baillie Fund grant recipients! Take a look below at these important projects, soon to be conducted across Canada with Baillie Fund support. Any projects that cannot be completed this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic can be completed in 2021.

Please visit our website for more information about the Baillie Fund, including how to apply this fall for the 2021 grants.
