We Are Fauna Sanctuary

Fauna Sanctuary, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to heightening awareness of the plight of captive chimpanzees and supporting the sanctuaries in North America who care for them. Fauna Sanctuary, Inc. is the U.S. affiliate of Fauna Foundation, the only chimpanzee sanctuary and nature reserve in Canada that provides a permanent home for chimpanzees rescued from medical research and entertainment, as well as houses other rescued animals.

The Rising Costs of Care

Caring for chimpanzees in sanctuaries is very costly. The annual cost to care for just one chimpanzee is typically no less than $20,000 per year. Much of that goes to pay for food and medicine. Other costs include maintenance and daily operations.

The donations and support we get from people just like you around the world, who share our love and commitment to the residents of Fauna Foundation and other chimpanzee sanctuaries around the world, makes our work possible. Will you help us make a difference?
