One time, monthly and annual giving
Your gift today provides specialized care and treatment for injured and orphaned wildlife in our medical clinic. Your gift also provides safe sanctuary for our non-releasable ambassadors, builds empathy for our native species, and helps inspire the next generation of environmental leaders and stewards through our education and outreach programs.
Check out our Wish List if you want to help keep our clinic stocked with much needed supplies!
Tribute Gifts
A gift to the Center for Wildlife is a meaningful way to honor a loved one or celebrate a special occasion. Your generous, tax-deductible gift helps injured and orphaned wildlife receive specialized medical treatment to give them a second chance at a healthy life in the wild. Your donation also helps conserve our native ecosystems, create empathy for the natural world and inspire future environmental leaders through our education and outreach programming. You can also choose to donate a gift towards our annual Henry Tribute Fund, which supports contributing missing baseline data and medical knowledge for the North American porcupine species along with providing accessibility to nature-based education for all.
Your honoree will be notified of your gift with a letter from Center for Wildlife, and you will also receive an email and letter confirming and acknowledging your donation for your own records. For memorial gifts, a letter from Center for Wildlife can be sent to the honoree’s family.
Adopt an ambassador
By adopting one of our non-releasable animal ambassadors, you have a unique opportunity to bring a wild animal into your life. Adoptions also make great gifts for friends or relatives.
Each adoption has a $25 sponsorship fee. Once we receive payment, we will mail you (or the gift recipient) a beautiful card and certificate naming you (them) the sponsor of the animal, a photograph of the ambassador, information on their ecology and natural history, and the story of how they came to live at Center for Wildlife. You will receive your adoption information within two weeks (within the continental United States) International adoptions can be sent to the purchaser to send.
