Conservation Allies is a one-of-a-kind nonprofit that was established in 2019. Our mission is to help organizations get the financial resources needed to make a major impact on biodiversity conservation.

Through a rigorous vetting process, we partner with the most dedicated and effective conservation organizations from around the world. We then provide financial support and a platform for these organizations to receive donations from the United States. All of this is done at no cost to the partner!

Conservation Allies is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization (Federal Tax EIN: 84-3985727). This enables us to receive donations on a partner’s behalf while offering the benefit of tax exemption to our donors in the United States. We act as a bridge between US donors and conservation organizations around the world, helping them to raise money that would otherwise be impossible.

Thanks to generous financial backing from our Board, Conservation Allies charges no overhead fees or administration costs on any donations. This means that 100% of your donation goes directly to the organization of your choice.

While we are not the only organization in the world offering this kind of partnership, most other organizations keep up to 20% of every donation for administrative costs. By donating through Conservation Allies, your donation stretches much further.

1. Conservation Allies collects donations for each of our partners.
2. You receive a receipt for your donation. If you are based in the US, use this receipt to claim a tax deduction.
3. We send the donations directly to the organization, without charging any additional administrative or service fees.

Most of our Partners are International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Members who have a track record of conservation achievements. IUCN brings together governments and civil society organizations, united under the common goal of protecting nature and conserving life on Earth. IUCN rigorously vets each prospective Member based on an independent assessment and references. Its entire membership of 1400 organizations reviews their application and votes on accepting the prospective Member, including national governments. Learn More
