My Nonprofit Reviews

I became aware of the amazing Wildlife Center of Virginia last year when the orphaned eagles were transferred there from the Norfolk Botanical Gardens. The WCV took in the eagles, promptly provided live web-cam coverage of their care and a moderated blog to provide "blow-by-blow" coverage of their care and progress. They expanded this web cam to cover other patients and now reach thousands of people around the world with an informative and vastly entertaining education on environmental awareness and wildlife, appealing to fans of all ages. This organization has been an expert on wildlife for many years, training veterinarians and interns from around the world. It is one of the most well-managed and innovative nonprofits I have ever seen, with an openness and accountability for funds received that is rare, with low administrative and fundraising costs. Ed Clark travels throughout the United States and the world providing his expertise wherever needed. The staff has been tireless in welcoming visitors to their facility (I took my granddaughter to an Open House last year - she loved it, too!), keeping us "in the loop" about all the patients, and responding to donations with personal letters of appreciation. All this is done with great good humor, friendliness, and kindness - it's a remarkable place!
