Make A Donation!

You can directly support golden lion tamarin conservation in Brazil. Help us reach our goal of 2000 GLTs living in 25,000 ha (about 62,000 acres) of connected and protected forest by 2025.  Make your tax deductible (in the U.S.) contribution to Save the Golden Lion Tamarin today!    

Here are some ways you could help:

  • Make a monthly recurring donation (see Just Give link below)
  • Hold a fundraiser in your school, neighborhood, church, or organization.  Ideas include lemonade stands, bake sales, car washes, raffles, etc.  Upon request, we can provide brochures for your use.
  • Join with friends to make a group donation. 
  • Make a gift donation to honor a special person (we will send a gift card).  (see Just Give link below)
  • Make a bequest.  Save the Golden Lion Tamarin is qualified to receive tax deductible bequests, devises, transfers or gifts under section 2055,2106 or 2522 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.    Contact us or ask your attorney about including Save the Golden Lion Tamarin in your will.
  • Suggest a gift to SGLT in lieu of flowers at a memorial service.

Your contribution, large or small, is important to saving GLTs from extinction.  

  • $8,000 would purchase one vehicle to carry AMLD field teams to their work sites (local farms, schools, forests)
  • $5,000 will "Adopt a Group", supporting the actions needed to monitor a GLT family and care for their habitat for a year.  We will send you photos and updates on a tamarin family's activities, such as new births.   If you have an opportunity to go to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, you can visit your adopted group up to twice a year!
  • $2,000 would restore two hectares (about five acres) of native forest corridor - enough to "soak up" 6-19 tons of carbon per year for 30 years, effectively neutralizing the carbon footprint of an average North American citizen, thus helping to save our Planet. 
  • $1,000 would restore one hectare (about 1.5 acres)  of native forest corridor.  We will name part of the corridor after you.
  • $1,500 would support one week-long workshop to train local teachers to develop community environmental projects as part of their school curriculum.
  • $500 will let you name a wild infant  Golden Lion Tamarin (for $1,000 you can name a set of twins) and support all our conservation program.  We will enter the name you choose in the offical GLT population records.
  • $100 would symbolically adopt a wild Golden Lion Tamarin, supporting all GLT conservation efforts.
  • $25 will help us continue monitoring the wild tamarin population with critical supplies such as flashlights and boots for our field team.
  • A gift in any amount to the Devra Kleiman Fund to Save the Golden Lion Tamarin will live on, providing annual support the AMLD to save golden lion tamarins in perpetuity.

Since we are a lean, entirely volunteer-run organization, your contributions will directly support our conservation work.  Save the Golden Lion Tamarin (EIN 20-2874701) is a U.S. public charity, qualified to receive tax deductible contributions under section 501(c)(3) of the US Internal Revenue Code.
