What is the 
ILLINOIS AUDUBON SOCIETY? 
Siento a eal 
It is a corporation organized in 1897, not for profit, under the laws of the 
State of Illinois, for the study and protection of wild birdlife.

those paid annually are held in an Endowment Fund, only the income 
from which is used for current needs, and there are no paid officers. 
Under a ruling of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue contributions to

tax purposes, and bequests or legacies are deductible for estate tax 
purposes.
