Become a Partner to Protect Gorillas

Karisoke™ anti-poaching team Partnerships provide vital support for on-the-ground field conservation and gorilla protection programs in Rwanda and Congo. Become a Partner and help us continue to protect gorillas.

The Partners Program includes two options:

1. Businesses, clubs and organizations can join the Fossey Fund like individuals become members.  Your company or organization will get benefits and recognition that is more suitable to a group than to an individual.
2. A company or group can conduct an activity to benefit the Fossey Fund.  You could hold an event or, with help from one of the Fossey Fund staff members, you can create a cause-marketing campaign that helps drives sales and interest in your company or product while helping to raise money for conservation.

You can choose to donate at a higher level or create an event or cause-related marketing campaign to raise funds. The Fossey Fund will work with you to develop and implement your idea. Benefits will be customized to fit your specific goals and needs. Contact 2help@gorillafund.org and a Fossey Fund staff member will be pleased to assist you. Click here to see examples of current partner promotions.

Please help us continue to protect the gorillas by donating or raising money to become a partner. Join our committed core of supporters who make sure that gorillas have protection from the major threats to their survival--poaching, human disease and habitat destruction.
