Give to the field, directly.
A donation to The Milnel Foundation funds the veterinarians, biologists, and field teams who protect wildlife where it lives. Public contributions are directed to active programs, not overhead.
Conservation work is slow, careful, expensive, and impossible without sustained funding.
The programs we fund are not headline campaigns. They are quiet, persistent efforts (daily monitoring, veterinary care, habitat restoration) carried out by people who have spent decades earning the trust of the places they protect. Your donation keeps that work going.
Suggested levels of support.
Every contribution matters; these are just examples of what each level can fund.

Give $1,000 →Underwrites a meaningful share of a program's annual operating costs and unlocks long-term planning.
Give $5,000+ →Monthly giving
Sustained monthly support is the most useful kind for the teams on the ground. It lets programs plan past the next quarter.
