Donating in the USA

With your help, Tusk will be able to make an even greater difference for Africa’s wildlife, natural habitats and people.

For American supporters wishing to donate in the most tax efficient way you can choose to support our work through “The Friends of Tusk Fund” – a donor advised fund administered on behalf of Tusk by CAF America, a U.S. public charity (Tax ID 43-1634280). Gifts made here are 100% tax deductible in the U.S.

DONATE ONLINE

By clicking the donate button, you can select that you are donating from the US, and your donation will then be dedicated to “The Friends of Tusk Fund” at CAF America, and will be 100% tax deductable. You can also select to have a tax receipt emailed directly to you with your acknowledgement email.
