Recurring donations
Be a year-round wildlife hero
When you give on a regular schedule, you’re there for wildlife every day of the year. Join our community of Freedom Partners with a recurring monthly donation, and give wildlife the best possible chance to heal and return to the wild, where they belong.
Why monthly donations matter
Monthly giving ensures a steady flow of support when wildlife demand is at its peak, especially during baby season, avoiding resource bottlenecks.
Wildlife doesn’t take breaks – injuries and emergencies happen year-round. Monthly gifts provide steady funding so animals receive timely medical treatment, rehabilitation, and release into the wild.
With predictable income, critical supplies such as medications, food and nesting materials can be stocked up on and prepared for seasonal influxes. This flexibility directly enhances the success of wildlife rehabilitation.
Natural disasters, habitat loss, or urban threats can spike wildlife emergencies suddenly. Steady support means quick responses, minimizing stress and suffering for affected wildlife.
Regular donations maintain high-quality enclosures, enrichment programs, and medical care, ensuring animals are comfortable and receive expert attention while recovering.
Why other Freedom Partners give
Continuous efforts in wildlife rescue really touched me. As someone living in the city, we should give back to support wildlife and their natural habitat.
We dropped off an injured seagull and thought the organization was so helpful. Will be donating monthly to keep this good work going.
Helped me when I found an injured bird in my backyard. Such a great organization and so happy it exists! You don’t know you need it till you need it! Alex helped with the intake and was so pleasant to chat with. Thank you!
I have brought birds into the centre several times and really appreciate the work you do. I know it's best for charitable organizations to have a guaranteed monthly contribution to help with budgeting and planning.
