Freedom for Great Apes (FGA), the only chimpanzee sanctuary in Oregon, is excited to announce its participation in the worldwide Giving Day for Apes fundraiser, taking place on October 3rd! This event aims to raise crucial funds to support our mission of continuing to provide a forever home for Herbie, CJ, Jackson, Emma and future rescued chimpanzees calling this place home.
Giving Day for Apes is a remarkable opportunity for individuals and organizations to come together and make a significant impact on the lives of these intelligent beings. Last year, thanks to the generosity of supporters, we raised over $40,000, enabling us to continue our vital work. This year we set an exciting goal of $85,000. These funds are essential for the chimpanzees’ loving care, nutritious meals, innovative enrichment, companionship with other chimpanzees as well as sanctuary modernization, and maintenance.
While the event is live today, the impact of donations increases on the biggest day of the event, October 3rd; giving us the chance to win "power hours" from matching grants and more! (see Giving Day Timeline below)
