$50 — Trains one community ranger for a week
$100 — Covers one month of GPS collar data for a tracked animal
$250 — Supports one anti-poaching patrol for a week

Most corporate partnerships we've seen amount to a logo on a webpage. We'd rather build something your team can point to — a ranger station with your name on it, a research expedition your staff actually joined.
What that looks like depends on your budget and what you're trying to achieve. The tiers below are a rough guide, but the better partnerships usually start as a conversation, not a form.
Logo placement, quarterly reports, certificate of partnership
Named programme, staff volunteer days, media coverage
Named research station, field expedition invites, board briefings
Fully custom conservation programme co-designed with your team

Africa's wild
ones
This is a symbolic adoption — you're not bringing a rhino home. You're funding the actual monitoring work for one animal or family group, and you'll get real updates back: GPS maps, field notes, population data.
Leave a gift that
outlasts a
lifetime
A bequest is different from a donation — it's a bet that this work still needs doing after you're gone. Legacy gifts go into our endowment, which is what lets us make commitments that outlast any single grant cycle.
We'll work with you and your advisers directly, at whatever pace makes sense. There's no minimum, no pressure, and no obligation to decide anything on a first call.
"I wanted my life's work to mean something after I'm gone. Leaving a gift to AFWINC was the easiest decision I ever made."
Ways to leave a legacy
Will Bequest
Include AFWINC in your will a fixed sum, a percentage of your estate, or a residual bequest. Simple and flexible.
Charitable Trust
Establish a named charitable trust that funds specific conservation work in perpetuity, bearing your family's name.
Life Insurance
Name AFWINC as beneficiary on a life insurance policy — a powerful gift at little cost during your lifetime.
Endowment
Establish a named endowment fund with AFWINC, generating investment returns that fund your chosen programme forever.
