The Merritt Island Wildlife Association (MIWA) is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization partnered with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (MINWR).
The Refuge protects over 140,000 acres of threatened endangered species and wildlife diversity. MIWA currently has over 1,400 members who furnish volunteers and finance educational programs, materials, and equipment for the Refuge.
Our purpose is to promote conservation, awareness, and appreciation of the Refuge and to provide assistance to Refuge programs. Due to federal budget cutbacks many programs would not take place without the support of MIWA and its dedicated volunteers.
MIWA relies on donations, grant awards and generous private businesses and companies that donate funds, materials, and resources to assist in our efforts. We also operate the Bookery, a nature based bookstore and gift shop located in the Refuge Visitor’s Center, with all proceeds going directly into Refuge projects.
