Giving Tuesday 2024 Need & Goals

2024 Giving Tuesday Goals

This Giving Tuesday, we’re setting ambitious goals to make a lasting impact on wildlife conservation, ranger safety, and education worldwide. With your help, we can equip and empower those protecting our planet’s most vulnerable species and ecosystems. Here’s how we plan to put your generosity into action:

$10,000 for Ranger Training Programs

Your support will help us advance the skillsets of rangers worldwide, ensuring they have the tools and knowledge to patrol effectively, combat wildlife crime, and protect critical ecosystems.

$10,000 for a New K9 Conservation Project

This funding will launch a K9 conservation project designed to protect endangered species, restore habitats, and expand research on understudied and underserved species. Our highly trained K9 units are instrumental in detecting wildlife crime and contributing to critical conservation efforts.

50 Hydration Packs and 50 Chest Webbing Pieces

We aim to equip rangers in the field with 50 hydration packs to keep them fueled and 50 chest webbing pieces to carry essential gear during their patrols. These items are critical for safety and efficiency.

8 K9 Harnesses, 8 K9 Collars, and 10 Biothane Leashes

Our K9 units are key players in the fight against poaching. Equipping them with harnesses, collars, and leashes ensures their safety and performance while protecting wildlife.

A Vehicle for GCF Education Operations in the U.S.

We’re raising funds for a dedicated vehicle to support our education programs and events across the United States. This vehicle will help us connect with communities, deliver impactful outreach, and inspire the next generation of conservationists.

A New Field Vehicle for Southern Africa

A reliable field vehicle for our GCF instructors in Southern Africa is essential for supporting on-the-ground training programs, ranger patrols, and conservation initiatives. Help us give our instructors the mobility they need to make a difference.

Our Total Giving Tuesday Goal: $100,000

With your generosity, we can ensure rangers and K9 units have the tools they need to protect wildlife and ecosystems while expanding our educational reach and conservation projects globally.

Support Global Conservation Force this Giving Tuesday

At Global Conservation Force (GCF), our mission is simple but powerful: to protect endangered wildlife and support the rangers who defend them. Whether it’s equipping anti-poaching units, training K9s for wildlife protection, or engaging local communities in sustainable conservation, we are committed to safeguarding wildlife for future generations.

Here’s how you can help us make an impact:

Sponsor a Ranger
Rangers are the backbone of wildlife conservation. Sponsoring a ranger helps provide essential tools like protective gear, first-aid kits, and advanced training in areas such as tracking, anti-poaching, and dangerous wildlife management. Your sponsorship ensures rangers have the resources to protect wildlife and stay safe while doing it.

Donate Towards Wildlife Protection and Conservation
Your donation directly supports initiatives that combat wildlife trafficking, protect critical habitats, and promote biodiversity. Contributions fund projects such as anti-poaching patrols, habitat restoration efforts, and community outreach programs that create sustainable solutions for coexistence. Every dollar has a measurable impact in safeguarding species for generations to come.

Use Your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
A Donor-Advised Fund is a simple, tax-efficient way to manage charitable giving. If you have a DAF, you can recommend a grant to GCF to help us continue our critical work. Supporting us through your DAF is impactful and flexible:

Ease of Giving: You can allocate funds directly from your DAF without needing to handle individual transactions.
Tax Benefits: Contributions to a DAF are tax-deductible when you make them, allowing you to support GCF while optimizing your financial planning.
Long-Term Impact: Many donors use their DAFs to make sustainable contributions that align with their values, ensuring lasting support for causes they care about.

If you’d like to recommend GCF as a recipient through your Donor-Advised Fund, please email us directly or contact your DAF administrator for guidance.
