Additional Ways to Help
Bands - Donate a Portion of Your ProceedsBook a show and donate 50% of your proceeds to Primates Incorporated! We will send you the promo materials for the event. Email amy@primatesinc.com for more info! Host a PartyBuy the ingredients to host a dinner party at your place for your friends and family. Ask them to make a donation to Primates Incorporated instead of donating toward the cost of dinner. Your cost to buy the groceries will be a tax deduction and the amount of money you raise will likely be 5-6 times the cost of your groceries. Primates Incorporated will send you a package of promotional materials for your party as well as a tax-deduction thank you letter to you and all of your donors. Help Us Find LandPlease let us know if you have any promising leads on obtaining an affordable piece of property! We have teamed up with 8 other nonprofit animal sanctuaries and are in search for approximately 50-100 acres so that we will be capable of rescuing various species of animals with several nonprofit programs in place. The sooner we have land, the sooner we can provide the many animals in need of retirement with a natural environment! If you know of a land owner who may be interested in providing us with a lease-to-buy option, please let me know! amy@primatesinc.com |
