Audubon Employees Donate to Own Nonprofit in Hard Times

Like many non-profits, Audubon has been squeezed by the severity of the economic downturn.

"We have frozen salaries for 2009 and 2010 and we anticipate that there will be cuts in other places, including layoffs," said Phil Kavits, Audubon's spokesman.

"Staff knows that there will likely be layoffs and/or furloughs soon, yet collectively, they have responded with pledges," he said.
