WE NEED YOUR HELP!
LCRP is a registered 501c3 in the U.S. Tax ID available upon request!
As outlined in our April 2023 newsletter, we've been very busy expanding our reach and increasing
our impact to protect chimpanzees and safeguard their habitat. We are thrilled to be doing
more for chimpanzees. At the same time, our chimpanzee family has grown dramatically.
While we are continuing to ensure that our chimpanzee family is happy, healthy, and safe, we are in
dire need of your help in feeding, housing and caring for our growing number of chimpanzees.
We're calling on our supporters in this 2023 Operations Funding Drive.

BY THE NUMBERS...
Current donations are covering only 40% of our monthly costs.
LCRP is now the permanent home to 90 orphaned chimpanzees. It costs over $1,200 USD per day to rescue,
house feed and provide 24-hour care for the chimpanzees. That's $37,000 per month or $450,000 per year! We received 15 new chimpanzee orphans in the past 15 months.
Baby chimpanzees arriving at LCRP require 24- hour nurturing from surrogate human mothers. It takes over 30 human caregivers to meet the needs of all the chimpanzees at the sanctuary.
Our current chimpanzee residents are getting bigger and require additional food, space and care.
Veterinary care for the chimpanzees costs thousands of dollars per year.

The chimpanzees require nearly 25 TONS of fruit and veggies each month! Our team makes three trips per week, through the country to source diverse and nutritious food for the chimps at a cost of $2,000 per month.
We purchase over 500 cans of baby cereal per month to provide essential vitamins, minerals and to fortify the chimps' diets.
Our most important resource is our amazing team, without whom we wouldn't be able to survive. Salaries for our team total $15,000 USD per month. The team consists of caregivers, drivers, mechanics, security, maintenance, cleaners, and more. |
