Corporate Membership
Corporate Support Categories
Please select from the following levels of support:
We would not be the success we are today without the help of many caring businesses who have
seen fit to donate to our Foundation. Every gift we receive is a blessing that allows us to
continue our work in education, non-invasive research and, of course, saving and caring for
non-releasable wildlife and companion animals.
Remember: Here at the Wildlife Foundation, there are no salaries or stipends. One-hundred
percent of your donation goes directly either to the care and nurturing of our companion
animals, or our research and educational programs. And because we are a recognized as
a not-for-profit foundation by the IRS, your donations are tax deductible.
Like most non-profit organizations, we have needs, both continuing and new, that could really
use your support. We happily accept any donations, cash or in-kind. All will be put to good
use here at the Foundation. Below are some categories of corporate support to help give
you ideas on how your business can help.
$250 Nutrition
A nutritional sponsorship allows your company to help purchase the nutritional supplements
needed for one animal quarterly. In addition, your company will receive acknowledgement on
our "Roars of Thanks!" webpage, and a corporate member certificate.
$500 Deck and Denbox Replacement Program
The deck and den box replacement program focuses on improving the caging facilities for our
current residents. For this level, your company receives acknowledgement on
our "Roars of Thanks!" webpage, a corporate member certificate to be displayed in your
place of business, and your name on a plaque displayed at our facility.
$1000 Transportation
Because of the unique nature of our offsite programs, we experience high costs involved
with maintaining available transportation for our animals. Transportation sponsors help
defray these costs. For your support, your company will receive acknowledgement on
our "Roars of Thanks!" webpage, a corporate member certificate, a free family membership,
your company name on a plaque at our facility or on one of our animal transport vehicles.
$2000 Research
Research is a powerful tool, both towards finding out more about the world around us, and
adding knowledge to our own educational programs. A research sponsorship allows us to buy
tools to assist in this research, as well as helping us to purchase materials such as
research books and journals to add to the Foundation's library. For this level of
sponsorship, your company will receive acknowledgement on our "Roars of Thanks!" webpage,
two free family memberships, and a plaque with your business name in our library.
$5000 Seed Sponsor
Seed sponsors allow the Foundation to grow! A seed sponsor gives us the ability to add
to our programs, improve our facilities for educating guests, and help us capture the
attention and imagination of our target audiences. Seed sponsors will get all of the
above benefits, PLUS a free program in your business' name for the school group or
organization of your choice, an additional family membership, and a special day at
the Foundation reserved for the employees of your business.
$10,000+ Habitat Sponsor
Of the different missions of our program, one that we feel is most important is the
health and happiness of our animal residents. Because of the unique partnership that
our trainers have with the animals of the Foundation, we wish to ensure that our
facilities are able to serve the needs of this special population. We are beginning
work on three natural habitats that will provide enrichment and development of our
very important animal partners. At this level, your company can choose to sponsor
part or all of a habitat area. Sponsoring a habitat is a large commitment. To
acknowledge your generosity to our program, you will receive the following: all
of the above benefits, plus 2 special days at the Foundation reserved for the
employees of your business for a company picnic or party, and five family memberships.
Full sponsors of habitats will also have their company name displayed on a banner or
plaque on the front of the habitat area that you have helped to fund.
In Kind Donations
To the left you will see a "Wish List" button, which leads you to a list of items the
Foundation needs. Do you have some old tools you are thinking about replacing? An old
vehicle that runs but no longer suits your needs? Finishing a construction project and
ended up with extra materials? By donating them to the us you will get a write-off for
your taxes and help us complete critical projects here at our facility. Everybody wins!
Your Choice!
The above are just ideas. There may be something special you would like to do for the
Foundation, such as sponsor a classroom's visit or an outreach program, or you may want to
help with our companion animal program which rescues abused and abandoned dogs, cats, birds,
reptiles and horses, and nurses them back to health before finding them a loving home. It's
all up to you, and the sky is the limit on what we can accomplish with your help!
