My Nonprofit Reviews

LOVE this organization! As an animal lover, I want to make sure my donation goes directly to the conservation of elephants and not spent on PR and stunts. IEF actually makes a difference in helping protect elephants.

I LOVE IEF. This is an organization that is committed to evidence-based, sustainable conservation efforts. I know that my donations are going to what is needed and that my small contributions make a difference.

IEF is the best charity for elephants, hands down. Their commitment to effective actions that will make long-term positive change is unmatched, and they are incredibly well-respected around the world. I have researched so many elephant and animal charities and I am always shocked at how little they do for animals and how they spend their donations. IEF is the exact opposite--they make sure donations get to the field and to where they will help the most. I am proud to be an IEF donor and supporter!

I am an annual supporter of this organization and every year I try to increase my support because of the excellent work they do! They are at the forefront of supporting research to develop a vaccine for EEHV, working to save the Sumatran elephant from extinction, and protecting Big Tuskers in Kenya.

Every year I support IEF and every year I am amazed that the positive impact they have for elephants around the world. This is truly a worthy organization with dedicated people and impactful projects.

I love IEF! They are so responsive to the changing issues of elephant conservation and are truly determined to make a difference. Their commitment to integrating communities and establishing longterm belief in conservation is what makes the difference in temporary vs sustainable progress. Thank you, IEF!

I'm happy to say that I've supported IEF's work for another year and continue to be so happy with the great work they do, their dedication, and their approach to conservation. They are smart about how they encourage change, by tailoring their approaches to the needs of the communities instead of trying a "one size fits all" approach. IEF makes a real difference in the future of elephants and I am proud to support them. They get my highest recommendation.

The more I learn about IEF, the more I love them! They work with communities to create solutions that help elephants AND people, thereby making locals into conservation partners. That is exactly how we need to help elephants--through co-existence. Thank you to IEF for their hard work and dedication!

The EMA is a fantastic group of knowledgeable people who are working every day to inspire people to save elephants. Not only do their members take great care in the elephants in their charge, they do important conservation work that does not get the credit they deserve. Thank you for being thoughtful stewards who fight for the elephants in our lives and the ones in the ever-decreasing "wild".

As I become more and more knowledgeable about elephants and the challenges they face, I am more and more impressed with this charity. They truly approach conservation on every level. While many groups just focus on poaching, or some even vilify those trying to care for elephants, IEF makes sure to address the underlying problems elephants face: human-elephant conflict, habitat degradation, competition for resources, and more. I couldn't be happier recommending IEF to anyone who legitimately wants their donations to go towards real life solutions that will make a difference in the survival of elephants.

The International Elephant Foundation is one of the few legitimate animal welfare charities that uses it's funds to actually help animals. Donations to IEF go to programs that affect animals and make a difference between conservation and extinction. They DO NOT misuse donations on press-seeking stunts, to pay protestors, or to lobby for legislation to ban human-animal interaction. I am so happy IEF is our there doing the real work to save elephants from extinction. I am proud to donate to them and to encourage others to support them as well.
