Animal Charities Like Ours Need Your Support
Many people do not realize that the majority of non-profit organizations get their funding from individuals. According to Giving USA, in 2018, individuals accounted for 70% of all giving or over $292 billion. Fundraising is a challenge for most, if not all charities, but it is even more challenging for animal charities. The same report revealed that out of all contributions made to non-profit organizations, only 3% was allocated to the animal welfare and environment sector.
Endangered Species
Another fact many people are not aware of is that both orangutans and chimpanzees are endangered species.
As one of many animal charities, the Center for Great Apes stands apart as the only accredited orangutan sanctuary in North America.
The Center receives no government funding and relies on the generosity of individuals like you in order to fulfill its mission to provide a permanent sanctuary for orangutans and chimpanzees. CGA’s apes were either retired from the entertainment industry, research, or are no longer wanted as exotic pets. 100% of all donations made to the Center for Great Apes go directly to the care of the orangutan and chimpanzee residents and the operation of the sanctuary.
