Mission

Saving the Wild. Saving us.

RAPTOR Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that brings conservation education and STEM learning to life through unforgettable, hands-on experiences. From Pre-K classrooms to retirement centers to community spaces, we connect people of all ages with the natural world. Participants, young and old, leave a RAPTOR Inc. program with a clearer grasp of ecology, biology, and environmental stewardship, and a deeper, more personal connection to the natural world around them. 

Rescue. Rehabilitate. Release.

RAPTOR Inc. advances conservation education and STEM principles for people of all ages in Greater Cincinnati using orphaned, injured, and sick birds of prey as powerful, real-world teaching tools that deepen scientific literacy and inspire lifelong environmental responsibility.

Our work with birds of prey is conducted under permits from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Department of Agriculture, ensuring that the care and recovery of raptors in need meets regulatory standards while supporting high-quality educational experiences.
