Donate

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization running exclusively on donations. We do not receive government subsidies, and our operating costs run around $30,000.00 each year for the hundreds of animals we treat and release. There are several ways to donate to YUWR so that we may continue our mission of caring for injured and orphaned animals and educating the public. All donations are tax deductible, whether you make a monetary or material donation.
Donate Funds
Our organization runs completely on donations and on money gained from purchases at our fund-raising store. The cost of food, medical supplies, and care for the animals ranges from $100-$400 per animal – sometimes more!
We accept donations via the Network for Good, Paypal, and through the mail.
