Donate Today to Support Wolf Recovery
The California Wolf Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit education center committed to increasing public awareness and understanding of the importance of all wildlife by focusing on the history, biology, behavior, and ecology of the gray wolf. Because our dedicated volunteers help keep costs down, over 90% of every dollar you donate goes directly toward caring for our resident wolves and supporting our conservation work, with the remainder being used to help maintain our facility. We are winners of a 2012 Top-Rated Award from GreatNonprofits. Help support our important work today!
