About Us
Amigos de las Aves USA was formed in 2002 when we were working with and supporting a Costa Rican organization by the name of Asociacion Amigos de las Aves. Since that time we have moved on to assist a variety of worthy parrot conservation projects.
Some of these projects are conducted by other nonprofit organizations; most are not. Quite a few are several-year projects being executed by individuals. Some of them we support directly with funding; for some of them we serve as a way for projects to receive tax-deductible donations in the US. The latter is particularly helpful for projects being run by individuals rather than organizations.
Thus, we are willing to serve as an "umbrella organization" for worthy parrot conservation and welfare efforts. if you have such a project with leadership not based in the United States or for which you do not wish to pursue 501(c)(3) status in the US, Amigos de Las Aves USA may be able to help you to receive donations for which your donors may receive a US tax deduction. The sorts of projects that we consider are generally associated with parrot conservation and welfare. Examples of suitable projects are: field projects, conservation-oriented captive breeding, veterinary medicine, or environmental education projects. We do screen projects or individuals we support in order to ensure we support only legitimate and effective projects. We take no overhead out of donations. We typically work in the New World and with New World species, especially macaws.
If you don't know Spanish and our name Amigos de las Aves USA is too complicated, call us AdlAUSA or Parrot Fund with URL www.parrotfund.org and email info@parrotfund.org
