Community fundraisers are inspirational individuals who come together to generate critical funds to help animals in need around the world. See below for the events you can take part in to support IFAW’s work.
Why fundraise for ifaw?
Thank you for your interest in fundraising for IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare)!
IFAW’s mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and release animals, and restore and protect their natural habitats all around the world, so that animals and people can thrive together.
By fundraising for IFAW, you could help provide the critical resources needed by wildlife carers and rescue groups to care for sick & injured wildlife including koalas and other Australian animals when they need it most. Your support could also help rangers in Africa rescue and rehabilitate orphaned elephant calves, help combat international wildlife crime, or even contribute to projects that are protecting marine mammals and our ocean!
Fundraising starts with you, an idea and your community—whether it be your family, friends, neighbours, school or colleagues.
In order to achieve IFAW’s vision of animals and people thriving together, we need amazing animal lovers like YOU!
