BY THE NUMBERS...
Current donations are covering only 35% of our monthly costs.
LCRP is now the permanent home to over 100 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! in the last six months, we have received 8 new chimpanzee orphans.
Baby chimpanzees arriving at LCRP require 24- hour nurturing from surrogate human mothers. It takes over 30 human caregivers to meet the needs of the chimpanzees at the sanctuary and we work hard to maintain a 1:1 ratio for young and new arrivals.
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 - food for the chimps is $6,000 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. |
