Hello Friend,
We've never reached out to our Rancho Wildlife Foundation family quite like this, but in this unprecedented time – we need you!
As with most places where people gather and engage – we are closed to reduce the potential spread of the coronavirus.
Closing is not only hard on the kids, families, and events that visited Rancho to play, learn and enjoy our animals – it is especially hard because we rely heavily on 70% of our revenue from attendance of events like parties, field trips, tours, and facility rentals. This decline began in February, so the loss is significant.
Rancho Wildlife Foundation is a nonprofit focused on educating and inspiring the community about the wonders of the natural world while helping to realize every creature of this planet deserves the right to live with compassion and respect.
Closing our doors to visitors is distressing, and we are asking you to donate to support us during this challenging time.
Support of our operations will enable us to continue to serve children and families in the future, specifically by providing the best home possible for the animals in our care. This includes sustaining quality food, veterinary support, medicine, and maintaining a reduced, trained staff to care for each animal's needs.
Your gift today will support Rancho Wildlife Foundation during this time and help us emerge stronger than ever.
We are a nonprofit that cares deeply about the present and future of our community. Thank you for keeping our employees and community partners in your thoughts, as we will keep you in ours.
From all of us at Rancho Wildlife Foundation, stay safe and healthy.
Julie Smith
Executive Director
