We place no limits on what we can achieve. Membership is only a first step towards involvement with Project Survival. The following suggestions are some of the other ways you can help. If you wish to respond, select any link. It will take you to the feedback section. You can email us from there.

• Review the 'Current Projects' page and consider supporting the work of a field biologist. These well defined projects can be helped tremendously by relatively small amounts of capital.
• Help us raise $300,000 for for the Cheetah Center in Kenya. Click on the "Create a mini-fundraiser" below to contact us or send a cheek to Project Survival PO Box 611 Squaw Valley, CA. 93675 Mark it "Cheetah Center"
• Register your name with us as a helper with special skills: Do you have access to surplus office supplies or medical equipment? We accept donations in-kind. Alternatively, so you have special skills, such as grant writing or translating?
• Create a mini-fundraiser. Every little bit helps. The 4th Grade student Council of Alta School in Reedley raised $500 through a project they called 'Coins for Cats'. This money was sent to German Researcher Dr. Alex Sliwa who used it to purchase radio collars for his 1998 field study of black-footed cats. Given that these cats have been given high priority status by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Cat Specialist Group, the achievement of these students was simply fantastic.
• Leave a legacy. Less than 6% of American households have included non-profits in an estate plan. Of estates valued at $600,000 or more, less than 1% included charitable bequests. Because the same Americans generously give billions of dollars to charities each year it is likely that this is an avenue of giving which people just haven't thought about yet.
• There are many ways to include the non-profit of your choice in your financial plan. You could leave a specific dollar amount in your will, or consider using assets for your charitable gift. These include, but are not limited to, stocks, bonds, CD's, real estate, vehicles, art and jewelry. Such gifts may even provide tax savings. You can also name your favorite non-profit as the beneficiary of your pension plan, IRA or life insurance policy. Finally, you can remember loved ones with memorial gifts, and encourage family and friends to leave gifts to non-profits in their wills. This encouragement can be extended to your financial advisor who can begin to include charitable giving as part of counsel to clients.
