My Nonprofit Reviews

My passion to help elephants was sparked in 2013. I’d just returned from S. Africa where I’d fallen in love with that creature, but had learned the sad facts of the myriad of problems facing it. I furiously began knitting hats, creating elephant motif steppingstones, and crafts with monies raised going to elephant causes. My donations were modest. I felt my pennies were lost amongst the thousands or million of $$ the internationally recognized, celebrity- endorsing sanctuaries were receiving. Stars aligned that led me to Global Sanctuary for Elephants!! I have never turned back from supporting GSE. Scott & Kat, the founders, originally from Tennessee Elephant Sanctuary, are THE most compassionate, determined, and amazing human beings. They are elephant whisperers who have the patience, knowledge, and training to bring captive elephants back to their true, inherent natures. At GSE, an elephant can be an elephant 100%. I cannot praise this organization enough!! I’ve volunteered in fundraising efforts through online auctions, The Big Payback, et al. The integrity, professionalism, and transparency at GSE is beyond reproach. I recommend GSE to anyone wanting to help captive elephants reach sanctuary. The newsletters and almost daily updates on social media are simply delightful as well.
