Your support makes Giving Day for Apes possible! 

Now in its 11th year, the live Giving Day for Apes event will take place on Tuesday, October 8, as thousands of donors from around the world come together in a show of support for qualified animal sanctuaries and rescue centers in Africa, Asia and North America.

With Early Giving open, all gifts made from now through October 8 will count as part of the Giving Day for Apes final total. All gifts will also count toward this year’s $57,000 prize pool, and each gift will help participating sanctuaries have a better chance of winning prizes tied to random chance drawings and other competitions.
