Get Involved
Dian Fossey gave us more time with the gorillas, but what we do with it is up to us. When you give to the Fossey Fund, YOU empower our teams in the field to help people and save gorillas…every single day of the year. Check out additional ways to get involved below, or make a one-time donation today!
Symbolic Gorilla Adoption
Symbolically adopt a gorilla and get to know some of the remarkable wild gorillas protected by the Fossey Fund. When you adopt a gorilla, you help keep them safe 365 days per year. You’ll also receive a digital profile and certificate of your new family member, as well as videos, photos, and more! Adoption makes a perfect gift for any occasion and is a simple way to ensure the survival of these magnificent creatures.
