For 40 years, Galápagos Conservancy has been the only U.S. -based nonprofit solely dedicated to protecting and restoring the Galápagos Archipelago and the thousands of species that call them home.
Today, that mission is more urgent than ever. Invasive species, climate change, and habitat loss are putting iconic wildlife and entire ecosystems at risks. But our experience shows that with bold action, recovery is not only possible, it is already happening.
Your support drives that action. It helps rewild critical habitats, protect endangered species, and empower local communities to lead lasting conservation. The future of Galápagos depends on what we do today.

Giving Societies:
Become a Galápagos Guardian with Your Monthly Donation
When you become a monthly sustaining member at $10+ per month you will receive this beautiful Waved Albatross iron-on patch, and a new Galápagos wildlife patch each year! But the best part about becoming a Galápagos Guardian is that you will provide reliable support with the lowest overhead cost so we can plan for expeditions, scientific reach, and so many other important conservation projects.
Adopt A Giant Tortoise
When you adopt a giant tortoise, you sponsor their care at a breeding center until they are old enough to be released back into the wild. Your adoption means you get to name your tortoise and receive a certificate, photograph, and yearly updates for your new family member in Galápagos.
Honor a Friend or a Loved One
Make the day of a friend or family member by giving to Galápagos Conservancy in their honor. Add a personal message of gratitude, and we’ll forward it to the honoree.
Make a Planned Gif
Leave your mark on Galápagos forever! Consider leaving a gift to Galápagos Conservancy in your will or trust. No gift is too small, and you’ll pay nothing now while retaining full control of your assets in the meantime.
Make a Charitable Gift of Stock
A gift of stock supports urgent conservation while offering potential tax advances. Protect Galápagos while avoiding capital gains tax.
Donate Directly From Your IRA
If you are over age 70½, you may make a qualified charitable contribution from an IRA as a tax-free distribution to Galápagos Conservancy.
Give Through a Donor-Advised Fund
A donor-advised-fund (DAF) is a philanthropic giving account that provides an immediate tax benefit to you and allows you to recommend gifts to your favorite charity.
Give at Work
Many employers offer gift matching or workplace giving campaigns, allowing you to amplify your impact for the Galápagos. Check with your employer to see if they match charitable contributions—you could double or even triple your support.
We Also Accept a Wide Range of Gifts
Galápagos Conservancy gratefully accepts donations in nearly any form your financial advisor recommends—including Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), stocks, charitable trusts, insurance policies, mutual funds, savings bonds, and more. Let us know how we can help facilitate your gift.
