Giving Day for Apes is about you - and the life-changing impact you have on apes in need. Every gift fuels hope: helping sanctuaries rescue, heal, and care for apes who have suffered in captivity or lost their families in the wild. With your support, we’ve already raised over $7 million to protect and uplift these extraordinary beings. Together, we’re not just raising funds - we’re raising futures.
