Leave Your Wildlife Legacy
A charitable bequest is a form of planned giving: a deferred or future gift described in a donor’s will. Such gifts allow us to initiate projects otherwise beyond our reach while providing you with immediate and long-term tax advantages.
We gratefully accept non-cash donations as well as Amazon purchases of our Wishlist items.
Please contact NIWRA administration prior to donating if you would like a tax receipt to see if your donation qualifies.
Our Wishlist
Give the gift of a symbolic adoption to the animal lover in your life:
-
birthday or Christmas gifts
-
any special occasion
NOTE: No government funding is available, so your support is critical.

"Bear Shares"
Bear Shares are important to us because:
-
~$40 per day is needed to meet the needs of one bear that arrives at the centre
-
bears usually spend several months with us until they can be released
-
we’ve had as many as 22 bears in one season!
-
donations are our sole source of funding to care for the bears
