Other ways you can help
BRING OR SEND ITEMS FROM OUR CURRENT RESCUE CENTER WISHLIST
Take a look at our wish list and help us by donating specific items we need for the rescue center and sanctuary. These are all things we would need to spend money on so you will be helping us save money. Contact us so we coordinate with you on delivery through a volunteer with plans for a personal visit or how to send if that’s not an option.

PERSONAL ECO SAVING PROJECT
Volunteer Vernita Gundy harvesting sugar cane at the KSTR organic garden
Save a little every day on nonessential things so it will not cost you anything extra. Say for a week a month you drink tap water and have a banana for your snack rather than buying a soda and chips so you can easily save $20/week. With the $20/month you can set up a reoccurring donation for a total of $240/year. Very simple, healthier for you and a very nice donation for KSTR.
KIDS SAVING THE RAINFOREST PARTY OR BAR OR BAT MITZVAH
Either set up your own campaign online in Razoo or simply ask your guests to contribute to KSTR instead of giving gifts for your party. You could make your party a rainforest theme with monkeys and monkey bridges, as well as some information about why the rainforest is so important to all of us. Fun and so rewarding for your friends too! Tell us about it and we can post photos to Facebook or our website.
LEARN
Learn about why we need to save the rainforest so you become as dedicated as we are to conserving this precious resource for our grandchildren. We need teachers to continue to inspire kids to learn and do rainforest related projects and fundraisers. We need professionals, ecotourists and primatology students to volunteer to help at the KSTR Wildlife Sanctuary, Kids Camp and other projects around KSTR HQ. What a privilege to visit such an amazing treasure of biodiversity and help save the rainforest too! Check out the Blue Banyan Inn for information on a non-volunteer visit.
CORPORATE DONATIONS AT YOUR WORKPLACE
- In the last year KSTR has been the proud recipient of several matching donations from companies who have a philanthropic policy of matching employee donations to non-profits.
- Please check with your employer to see if they offer this program as these larger donations are a wonderful source of greater progress with our efforts to help the animals of the rainforest.
- If your company gives regularly to environmental charities, please encourage them to add us to their regular giving schedule. If they don’t please encourage them to begin a program like this to stay current with the trend of corporations helping with their dollars to preserve such an important resource as our rainforest and to teach kids how to help.
- You can either do a matching donation by donating online or email us to work with your employer on signing the documents they may need to verify our qualification as a 501(3)C nonprofit for their program.
