Gifts & Bequests


Sydney Wildlife Rescue is a not-for-profit charity operating in the Greater Sydney Basin and has been diligently rescuing and caring for Australian native wildlife since 1997.  We rely on our own fundraising efforts and the support of donors to enable us to carry out this important work.  

Our 24/7 phone service answers more than 13,000 calls for assistance each year.  These calls might be from members of the public who’ve found an animal in distress, from vets who need one of our 500+ volunteers to take an animal into care, from community groups inviting us to give a presentation on Australian wildlife to their members, or simply from someone seeking advice about native wildlife.  Providing these services costs money. 

We need to pay our phone bill, train our members, buy or build animal shelters, pay for vets, food and medicines and meet countless other ongoing expenses.  We are eternally grateful for our many supporters - those who make regular donations, or drop a gold coin in a tin, visit us at a market stall or attend a fundraising function, or leave a gift in their wills.

provided the aims of the charity have not changed.  Receipt of the Treasurer or Public Officer will be sufficient discharge for my executors.

Thanks for thinking of us!
