While earlier campaigns, established Liberty Wildlife and then completed our move to a new campus in 2016, there is always additional work to be done. Each year we add more flight cages, more resident mews for non-releasable wildlife Ambassadors, and additional amenities across the campus like our Kathleen Lang Butterfly Garden, our sculpture garden trail, our Ambassador training enclosures and our Serenity Garden, as well as expanded space and staffing for our nationally recognized Non-Eagle Feather Repository. Eliminating the remaining facility construction mortgage would increase our ability to invest in staff to further grow our educational offerings.
There are currently over $5 million in opportunities to further expand our campus and programs. Liberty Wildlife has managed an exceptionally efficient operation since 1981. We are fortunate to benefit from hundreds of volunteers, who provide tens of thousands of hours of service. We are now at a point in our organization’s growth that requires greater investment in building our paid staff. As we further grow into the full utilization of our new campus, our expanded programming will require additional staff, across rehabilitation and education services. As responsible stewards, we understand the need to also build our endowment to ensure these resources continue to be available to the public far into the future.
Much hard work, from the board to each of our volunteers and staff, has grown Liberty Wildlife to this point. We are now caring for more animals, and educating more children and adults, than ever. We’ve initiated new research studies, and new partnerships. We look forward to growing our reach even further… with your support.
Significant gifts toward these campaign goals can be recognized in very visible ways on our campus. A list of named gift opportunities is available below.
