About Fundraising
Gorillas are beautiful, resilient animals. But poaching and habitat destruction have pushed their populations to the brink of extinction in recent decades.
Our brave founder, Dian Fossey, knew that gorillas would need our help to survive. Today, the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund is dedicated to continuing and expanding Dian’s work. We protect gorillas and their forests every day, while also helping the people who live near them.
Fundraising is a game-changer for nonprofits like ours, and it's all because of people like you. You have the power to make a real difference, and by getting involved in our peer-to-peer fundraising efforts, you become an essential part of our mission of helping people and saving gorillas. By engaging individuals like you, we can expand our reach far beyond what we could achieve alone. When you reach out to your own network of friends, family, and colleagues, you're not only raising crucial funds but also spreading the word about our cause, empowering them to become advocates and fundraisers on our behalf. Your passion and dedication inspire others to join the movement and support our work. Together, we can create a positive impact for gorillas and the communities living near the gorillas, that goes far beyond what we could achieve alone.
