why donate to win

Please Consider Donating to WIN

According to the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association, 75% of injured wildlife is caused by our human activities including fishing line and lures, nest tree destruction, power line and vehicle collisions, unrestrained pets, illegal or legal wild “pet” trading, intentional or unintentional poisonings, window collisions, and non-target trapping or shooting. In Pennsylvania, an informal survey of our wildlife rehabilitators puts this percentage closer to 95%.

Wildlife in Need Emergency Response of Pa. (WIN) is an innovative, statewide telephone dispatch

system for capturing injured, and orphaned wildlife within the state of Pennsylvania.

Although WIN is staffed by volunteers, we do incur expenses that need to be covered if we are to continue to operate and grow.

In 2019, WIN received more than 1,500 number of calls through our dispatch system. This is double the calls received in 2018. Calls in 2020 are exceeding the 2019 rates

We are seeking donations to cover the following costs of our volunteer efforts.

Insurance
Contracted Dispatch/Answering Service
