The Wolf Conservation Center teaches people about wolves, their relationship to the environment and the human role in protecting their future. Founded by Hélène Grimaud in 1999, the Wolf Conservation Center (WCC) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit environmental education organization working to protect and preserve wolves in North America through science-based education, advocacy, and participation in the federal recovery and release programs for two critically endangered wolf species - the Mexican gray wolf and red wolf. The WCC's three 'ambassador wolves' reside on exhibit where they help teach the public about wolves and their vital role in the environment. Through wolves, the WCC teaches the broader message of conservation, ecological balance, and personal responsibility for improved human stewardship of our World.

Protecting over 2.0 million acres of wilderness in the Amboseli-Tsavo-Kilimanjaro ecosystem of East Africa, Big Life partners with local communities to protect nature for the benefit of all. Since its inception, Big Life has expanded to employ hundreds of local Maasai rangers—with more than 30 permanent outposts and tent-based field units, 14 patrol vehicles, 2 tracker dogs, and 2 planes for aerial surveillance. Co-founded in September 2010 by photographer Nick Brandt, conservationist Richard Bonham, and entrepreneur Tom Hill, Big Life was the first organization in East Africa to establish coordinated cross-border anti-poaching operations.

To support healthy wildlife populations

Chicago Canine Rescue (CCR) was founded in 2001 to help find permanent, loving homes for homeless dogs in our city. Each dog under our care is treated to a healthy, healing environment. Our qualified and educated professionals provide specialized medical treatment, plus training and adoption services. In its first ten years, CCR has saved over 3,500 dogs, many with special needs. CCR works with the Midwest's largest shelters to rescue animals that are in danger of euthanasia. In addition to caring for healthy and easily adoptable dogs, CCR - unlike most other shelters - also rescues dogs that frequently passed over for adoption, such as a sick or injured animal, a senior dog, or an animal with a manageable illness or disability.

Good Mews offers an alternative to traditional animal shelters in the Metro-Atlanta area by providing a no-kill, cage-free, limited admission haven for homeless, abused, or abandoned cats until placing them in permanent, loving homes. Good Mews promotes public awareness regarding the value of pets, animal welfare, pet overpopulation, and quality human-animal companionship through education and outreach programs.

Our mission is to reduce food waste in our communities by diverting viable foodstuffs, including pumpkins, to farms, animal sanctuaries and rescues for feed or compost. PFPF started in 2017 with 10 donation sites in Loudoun County, Virginia with the aim of reducing food waste one pumpkin at a time. Since then, we have grown to over 600 donation sites in 45 states and Canada. In 2023, we diverted 800 tons (1.6 million pounds) of pumpkins and other foodstuffs from landfills into the mouths of some very hungry and happy animals. That's the equivalent of the carbon (CO2) emissions of 72 passenger vehicles for a year! And, we are just getting started!

Happy Hills provides shelter, food, medical care and compassionate support to abandoned and abused animals, works to place them in responsible permanent homes, and promotes humane education and spay/neuter programs to reduce pet overpopulation in its community.

Their mission is to improve the welfare of dogs and cats in Asia, resulting in better lives for both the animal and human communities, to end animal cruelty, and to ultimately create a society without homeless animals.
