As of 2011, AEI no longer solicits annual memberships; instead, we encourage visitors who value our work to make periodic donations. On this page, you can make a one-time donation to the Acoustic Ecology Institute. All payments are made through PayPal; if you are a PayPal member, you may choose your payment method, and if you are not a PayPal member you can make Credit Card payments without joining PayPal.

After clicking the payment button of your choice below, you will be taken to the PayPal website. If you would like AEI email to be directed to a different email address than the one you use for PayPal business, please include that in the comments box provided by PayPal. Likewise, if you do NOT want AEI email, you may let us know in the PayPal comment box.

If you would prefer not to pay online, you may send donations to Acoustic Ecology Institute, 45 Cougar Canyon, Santa Fe, NM 87508 (here's a web page you can print and fill in with your information). We also welcome phone inquiries at 505-913-7150 and faxes (include your contact info and Credit Card number with expiration date) at 866-571-0416. Of course, you may also email us at:

To make a donation:

The Board of Directors of AEI has set a target of finding 5-10 individuals or family foundations that could commit $5-10,000 per year to suppot AEI's core operations, with a goal of raising $50,000 per year.  We think this is a fairly modest budget, and a worthy investment toward AEI's unique contribution to public information and dialogue and the ways our work feeds into the larger projects of other organizations. If you know folks who might like to be part of this core circle of support, your introduction would be most welcome.
