Become an ORC Member

When you become an annual member of Ojai Raptor Center, you are demonstrating your support for our mission of rehabilitating and releasing injured and orphaned wildlife and providing educational programs about raptors and our shared environment.

Your membership fee helps cover many of the costs of medical and supportive care for the hundreds of patients we treat every year. As a nonprofit organization, ORC is primarily funded by private donations and grants. Although we operate by permission of state and federal wildlife agencies, we do not receive sustained government funding.

In return, you will receive benefits based on the level of membership you choose. These start with an attractive decal for your car, laptop or home to communicate your support of ORC and advance notice for purchasing event tickets up to invites to exclusive events just for members at our Ojai facility.

$125 - $499 - Burrowing Owl Member

Benefits: ORC logo decal and advance notice for event tickets.

$500 - $999 - Red-tailed Hawk Member

Benefits: ORC logo decal and advance notice for event tickets. PLUS an invitation to a raptor release and discounts on private presentations with our education staff at our facility or via Zoom.

$1,000 + - Golden Eagle Member

Benefits: ORC logo decal and advance notice for event tickets. An invitation to a raptor release. Discounts on private presentations with our education staff at our facility or via Zoom. PLUS invitations to members-only events at ORC.

*Since raptor releases are wholly dependent on the timing of each bird's arrival and rehabilitation, we will reach out to you next summer when an opportunity arises.
