Start a Fundraiser to Help Build WildCare’s New Home
Nearly everyone in our community has a story about bringing an injured animal to WildCare, calling our wildlife hotline for help, or connecting with our Terwilliger Nature Education Programs.
Now you can help build the future of that work.
WildCare is constructing a new wildlife hospital and nature education center at our historic Albert Park location in San Rafael. By creating a fundraiser, you can invite friends and family to join the Elevate WildCare capital campaign and help complete this vital project, ensuring WildCare’s work continues for generations to come.
Creating a fundraiser takes just a few minutes!
Suggested goals: $250 • $500 • $1,000
