Vision

Iowa Bird Rehabilitation (IBR) is a wildlife rehabilitation center. Currently, there is no other organization in central Iowa that provides the same unique benefits we offer to both the community and nature. We have taken in over 14,000 birds to date, with an average yearly increase of 25%, admitting almost 3100 birds in 2024 alone.​ Strategic Expansion Plan: 2024-2025: Launch capital campaign to build a permanent in town home for IBR An in-town facility for admissions, medical, rehabilitation, and education $500,000 Raise $250,000 for 2 full time and 2 part time employees and cover basic operation cost 2025-2026: Raise funding each year to cover all operation costs and begin to save for a Phase 2 acreage facility 2027-2029: An off-site acreage for pre-release flight cages, rehabilitation space for large birds, and long-term facilities for education birds.
