Rex Brasher left behind an immense and inspiring body of work. He dedicated his life to birds and was intent on sharing this wondrous world with everyone interested.
Our mission is to preserve Rex Brasher’s beloved woodland home and the art he left behind, to advocate for the protection of birds and bird habitats, and to inspire a new generation of artists and naturalists to explore their connections to the natural world and share it with everyone interested.
But we cannot do it alone! We need your support to fulfill our mission. There are many ways to donate your time, money, energy, and expertise.
A monetary gift is the best way to support our mission. Digitizing and archiving prints, researching materials and methods, maintaining Rex's home and property, and educational programming take time and money. At the Rex Brasher Association, every dollar is spent thoughtfully, with a dedication to further Rex Brasher's legacy.
Donating online is easy and secure. We’ve partnered with Anedot and Stripe to provide a simple way to donate online with a credit card, bank transfer, Google Pay, Apple Pay, or PayPal with bank-grade encryption, automatic donation receipts, and recurring giving.

Are you an ornithologist, an artist, a historian, a printmaker, a preservationist, a photographer, or a graphic designer? Are you obsessively organized? Do you like old manuscripts, large data sets, writing grants? If so, you can help! Your expertise is a valuable asset and we welcome your contribution.
Corporate sponsorship is a great way to support our mission. We believe in using best-of-class products and services to design and build the museum; to maintain Rex’s 116-acre property; to digitize and catalog our collection of artwork; and to run our nonprofit in the most streamlined and efficient way possible.

One of the best ways to fulfill Rex Brasher’s legacy is to spread the word. This collection of paintings and prints has been largely hidden for nearly a century. You can help us share this treasure with the world! Tell your friends. Tell National Geographic. Tell the Smithsonian. Tell Clint Eastwood about Rex Brasher's crazy adventures on the Phalarope! Seriously, it's begging to become a movie.
Rex Brasher was enamored by birds. He loved their curious nature. But even a century ago he was acutely aware of onrushing human encroachment into delicate bird habitats. Rex Brasher's mission was to show us the wondrous beauty of birds and illustrate the delicate balance of their ecosystems. His mission was awareness, and that is even more relevant today.
