Fundraise

Be a Wildlife Champion

Everyone has the power to protect wildlife. Wildlife Champions are passionate individuals who take action—hosting fundraisers, raising awareness, and supporting conservation efforts both locally and globally.

Host an Event

Turn your passion into action—host a fundraiser for your favorite animal, whether it’s a bake sale, a paint night, or a marathon. 100% of every dollar you raise goes directly to the conservation program you care about most. Here are some great ways to get started:

  • Run a race
  • Class fundraisers
  • Outdoor Movie
  • Car wash
  • Bake Sale

Donate your funds online or mail a check to Wildlife Conservation Network, 209 Mississippi Street, San Francisco, CA 94107. Be sure to include a note letting us know about your fundraiser. We’d love to thank you personally and celebrate your incredible efforts!

Fundraise Online

Whether it’s your birthday, wedding, or a holiday, turn your special occasion into a powerful act of conservation. Set up a personal fundraising page and ask for donations in lieu of gifts. It’s easy to start, and every dollar supports the species you love.
