Questions about Conservation Allies

Conservation Allies is a one-of-a-kind nonprofit that was established in 2019. Our mission is to help organizations get the financial resources needed to make a major impact on biodiversity conservation.

Through a rigorous vetting process, we partner with the most dedicated and effective conservation organizations from around the world. We then provide financial support and a platform for these organizations to receive donations from the United States. All of this is done at no cost to the partner!

Conservation Allies is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization (Federal Tax EIN: 84-3985727). This enables us to receive donations on a partner’s behalf while offering the benefit of tax exemption to our donors in the United States. We act as a bridge between US donors and conservation organizations around the world, helping them to raise money that would otherwise be impossible.

Thanks to generous financial backing from our Board, Conservation Allies charges no overhead fees or administration costs on any donations. This means that 100% of your donation goes directly to the organization of your choice.

While we are not the only organization in the world offering this kind of partnership, most other organizations doing similar work can retain up to 20% of every donation.
