Palomacy is profoundly honored and grateful to receive our largest donation ever- a grant for $30,000- from our biggest supporter, Craig Newmark Philanthropies.

Craig Newmark is many things: the founder of craigslist, an “accidental entrepreneur,” a self-proclaimed old-school nerd, a full-time philanthropist and a life-long lover of pigeons. He named his favorite neighborhood pigeon Ghost Faced Killer. (Good one!)

Palomacy, with Craig’s very generous support, saves hundreds of pigeons and doves through hands-on rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming in Northern California. We leverage our expertise, resources, and connections to help thousands more out-of-area birds, both nationally and internationally, every year. We save lives directly and by raising awareness and compassion for these birds, who have been overlooked and underserved for too long. Together with an increasing number of fellow rescues and advocates, we are reversing the unfair stigma against pigeons and showing the world they deserve our respect and protection.

Thank you, Craig, for all you are doing “to support and connect people and drive broad civic engagement… to advance grassroots organizations that are effective and getting stuff done” and to help pigeons.

We’re looking forward to having another Palomacy pigeon visit with Craig and Mrs. Newmark in the spring. (And hopefully a special visit to another special rescue.) Please stay tuned for more…
