The BBCRC is mainly funded by individual contributions from our community of supporters. We have some substantial costs in operating our site, in purchasing needed equipment and materials for our projects, in making repairs to equipment, and for our overall operations. We depend on donations from our community of supporters both locally and across the country.
The BBCRC is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, EIN 26-1336678. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Other ways to help
We realize these are tough times for many people and getting involved here certainly does not require giving money. See Visits and Volunteering for work parties and other ways to pitch in. And if you know someone who can give that you can steer our way, that would be greatly appreciated.
Our organizational and financial documents are available to the public on request: [email protected].
