The monkeys need all of us to help them since they’re still currently being used to help us. Some labs will attempt to fund for 1-3 years of care, but the monkeys need funding for life, and it’s costly for us to ensure the top-notch care they deserve.
But you can help by choosing to donate through one or more of these secure options:
Primates Incorporated is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. Donations are tax-deductible as charitable contributions.

Monthly Donations
River
(2013—2020)
River’s Club
When you give a gift of $12 per month or more to Primates Incorporated, you become a member of River’s Club. River was one of our first monkeys at the sanctuary, and his playful personality warmed our hearts until his passing in Spring of 2020. We created River’s Club as a way to honor his legacy so that his spirit will always be part of our community.
As a member, you’ll receive two videos annually of a monkey resident (or pair of residents) of your choosing eating fruit, a subscription to our monthly e-newsletter, and an opportunity to set up a visit to the sanctuary.
Becoming a monthly donor is the best way to support Primates Incorporated because it provides stable, ongoing support to help meet the monkeys daily needs. it also reduces administrative costs so more of your support goes directly to monkey care, and it’s convenient for you.
Your monthly gift will be automatically deducted from your credit card, and you can update or cancel at any time!
