Through this project, orphaned elephants get a second chance at life as they are hand-raised and rehabilitated by caregivers until they can safely be reintegrated back into the wild. As of 2022, the group has successfully raised and rehabilitated 282 orphaned elephants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Orphans\u2019 Project has been one of the Trust\u2019s most popular endeavors, particularly with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sheldricktrust\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">social media<\/a> followers and donors. Sciacca says that when it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org\/orphans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cadopting\u201d an elephant<\/a>, recurring family giving has been particularly powerful as it allows families to engage with monthly updates and information on the animal\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s that same donor engagement and dedication to preserving wildlife that gives Sciacca hope for the future of the elephants. Philanthropic support is vital in order to \u201cprotect these wild spaces and provide the best opportunity possible for [elephants] to flourish.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nptrust.org\/philanthropic-resources\/philanthropist\/trust-based-philanthropy-a-primer-for-donors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unrestricted grantmaking<\/a> is especially crucial to their efforts, Sciacca says. She notes that these gifts \u201callow the organization to apply where funds are most needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nptrust.org\/donor-advised-funds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donor-advised funds (DAFs)<\/a> have been a major part of the organization\u2019s unrestricted funding, making up roughly 15-20% of their total fundraising revenue. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen, year-over-year, the significant growth of donor-advised funds,\u201d Sciacca says.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Sciacca says she has seen a shift over the past few years in conservation and wildlife awareness, environment and animal-related causes still only make up about 3% of Americans\u2019 charitable giving. \u201cWe still have a lot more work to do,\u201d Sciacca says, but she isn\u2019t giving up on this fantastic wildlife. \u201cThere is still hope and still time, so long as people continue to prioritize them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each year on August 12, conservationists and wildlife preservationists around the globe
