MISSION

Conserving Birds of Prey Worldwide

WORK WITH US

The Peregrine Fund protects the earth’s 550+ species of raptors, partnering with local people on five continents to inspire action and preserve essential habitat. Support comes from donors, corporations, and government grants. We were founded in 1970 to rescue the Peregrine Falcon from extinction by pioneering ways to breed and release them across North America. With that historic success, our mission grew to encompass all raptor species worldwide.

Today we:

• Restore critically endangered species
• Research little-known species
• Train and support students
• Engage all ages with environmental education
• Conserve habitat

Our employee benefits program plays a vital role in demonstrating our commitment to our employees. We are pleased to offer eligible employees a comprehensive benefits program that is among the best among our peer institutions. This includes a 403(b) retirement program as well as health, dental, vision, life, and long-term disability insurance.
