Join Our Hummingbird Circle Today 

The Hummingbird Circle is a group of individuals and businesses who have made a commitment to the mission and vision of the Sonoran Institute by providing general financial support on an annual basis.

By giving to the Hummingbird Circle, you are having an impact throughout the Sonoran Institute, allowing us to direct funds wherever they are needed most throughout the year. Whether it’s focusing on a new initiative, piloting a new program or enabling our staff to work collaboratively across the West, we absolutely could not do this work without your support!

How do I become a part of the Hummingbird Circle?

Any individual or business that gives a gift of unrestricted support totaling $1,000 or more within 12 months automatically joins the Hummingbird Circle. Your donation can be made anytime during the year and you can make a single gift or donate in increments. Once your annual giving reaches $1,000, you will be welcomed to the Hummingbird Circle.

What are the benefits of giving to the Hummingbird Circle?
