An Interview with Sean Scanlon, The Cornell Lab of Ornithology

FS: How does the organization engage donors and other supporters and potential
 supporters in ways other than purely fundraising efforts?
SS: This is one of the most exciting parts of the Lab! The Cornell Lab is the world-leading organization in the field of Citizen Science. We have many programs, headlined by Project Feederwatch and www.eBird.org, engage hundreds of thousands of people in monitoring birds and the environment, and then contributing that data to the Lab for research. Last year, more than 140,000 different people contributed data around the world. And the number of contributions is growing almost exponentially.
