Our Major Gift Donors are vital to LTWC’s lifesaving work.
The generous support of our Major Gift Donors gives us the resources we need to continue our mission of Raising, Rehabilitating, and Releasing wildlife.
Your contribution of $5,000 or more per year can make a tremendous difference. Major Gift Donors ensure that LTWC can help wild animals that have considerable care requirements, such as orphaned bear cubs or those injured in wildfires. They secure LTWC’s future, making our new facility a reality. They allow us to purchase the equipment, medicines and special diets necessary to help diagnose and treat dozens of different wild animal species every year.
By becoming a Major Gift Donor, you will be joining others who are driven by a compassion for wildlife and a love of nature. You will receive invitations to special Major Donors-only events at LTWC.
Please contact us at 530-577-2273 (CARE) or info@ltwc.org so that we may discuss your donation and answer any questions you may have.
