Your support this year means more than ever

Each time you make a gift to a charity like IFAW, you contribute to saving lives. Your generosity helps protect vital koala habitats in Australia, rescue animals from disasters and conflicts worldwide, and support rangers who risk their lives to save wildlife from poachers in Africa. 

No matter where or when they need us, your support ensures we're ready to leap into action. Every time you give, you help us be there for animals in need. 

Think of what you could do for animals today 

Your donation can have a tremendous impact on animals, here and around the world, including those impacted by disasters: 

• $30 could provide medicine that a wildlife carer needs to save an animal’s life. 
• $60 could purchase essential equipment for wildlife rehab facilities to treat injured animals and ready them for release back into the wild. 
• $100 could send a rescue team to a disaster scene and save twice as many animals. 

Tax benefits for your support 

Did you know? The Australian government offers a tax deduction for donations of $2 or more. This means your donations can reduce your taxable income, offering you financial benefits when you file your tax return. Use our Charity Tax Calculator to see how your donation can benefit you financially.

Help vulnerable animals caught in disasters

When ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred tore through southeast Queensland earlier this year, it left behind a trail of destruction—and dozens of koalas stranded or injured. Habitat trees were ripped from the ground, and food sources vanished.

Thanks to IFAW supporters, one mud-covered koala, named Tamami (Japanese for ‘beautiful gem’) was found with a tiny joey in her pouch. She spent the night in the care of the dedicated team at Friends of the Koala, who gently washed all the mud off both mother and baby. The following afternoon, Tamami and her joey were released back to the wild.

Your tax-deductible gift this EOFY helps us respond faster to wildlife emergencies like these—rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing native animals impacted by extreme weather events that are increasing in frequency and severity.

That is the difference you make! You’re saving a species, one animal at a time.
