Remember wildlife while doing taxes

Support wildlife in North Carolina with a voluntary contribution to the Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Fund on line 30 of the N.C. state income tax form.
Contributions help the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission fund projects and programs benefiting sea turtles, songbirds, freshwater mussels and fish, as well as other wildlife species without a designated hunting or fishing season.
Although tax check-off donations target projects benefiting nongame animals and their habitats, game species such as deer, turkey and bear also benefit because these animals live in many of the same habitats. Donations make up the largest and most significant source of non-federal funding to help these animals.
