The Internal Revenue Service has officially declared the WRC a 501(c)3 public charity retroactive to February 19, 2009.

Now that the rigorous 501(c)3 regulatory review process is behind us, we’re working even harder to attract philanthropists interested in protecting Utah’s wildlife—But we still need your support. We understand today’s economic climate makes contributing a challenge, but please consider supporting WRCNU anyway you can. If monetary donations aren’t practical, consider volunteering time or collecting wish list items located on this page. Computer users can provide us with free publicity or e-mail us about fundraising opportunities—Every bit helps, so get creative!

We are passionate about helping as many injured and orphaned wildlife as we safely can, so you can rest assured your donations are stretched as far as possible. Even with lean resources, our all-volunteer staff has healed and released hundreds of wild birds already this year. With your assistance, we’ll continue this lifesaving work in 2010 and beyond.

MEMORIAL GIFTS: In lieu of flowers, consider honoring the memory of your special nature lover with a contribution to WRCNU in his or her name. If you choose, you may also offer this environmentally-friendly alternative to floral arrangements in your loved one's obituary. By doing so, you'll not only be giving friends and family a thoughtful, meaningful way to pay their respects, you'll also give the gift of life to one of nature's most spectacular creatures: a wild raptor. If you desire, memorial donations will be recognized with the honoree's photograph on WRCNU's Final Flights page (http://www.wrcnu.org/pages/final_flights). To learn more about WRCNU's Final Flights Memorial Donor Program, please e-mail us at info@wrcnu.org .

I was riding my bike to work and found a Flicker that had been hit in the middle of the road. He was unconscious, but then opened one eye. He needed help, so we brought him to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. They said he had a broken leg and a battered wing, but will heal and be realeased in about a month. We are so lucky to have a facility like this to help wildlife!! I am so grateful. I agree, what a wonderful & worthwhile charity!!

This amazing group took in a baby sparrow that we found in our backyard. It was only a day old and covered in ants when we found it. They were able to rehabilitate it and release it to the wild. What a wonderful, worthwhile charity!

These people took in a seagull that we accidentally hit with our car and scooped up. Its leg was broken. We drove around to shelters, but we didn't know WHAT to do. Our veterinarian told us about this group, and they came to pick up the injured bird from the vet who kept is overnight. They tell us that they will splint the seagull's leg and give it physical therapy for two months until it can fly again. How WONDERFUL that we have somewhere to take injured birds! I'm sending in a BIG donation! God bless these people!
