The Wildlife Conservation Network (WCN) is a United States-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that protects endangered wildlife by supporting conservationists in the field who promote coexistence between wildlife and people. WCN does this by providing its partners with capital, strategic capacity-building services, training, and operational support. WCN has been given a top rating amongst wildlife conservation charities, with a four star rating on Charity Navigator. Founded in 2002, Wildlife Conservation Network was built on a venture capital fundraising model to identify entrepreneurial conservationists and projects and give them the support they need to effectively run their programs. WCN brings donors together with field conservationists to develop personal relationships and allow donors to see how their support is making an impact for wildlife. WCN’s 100% donation model means every dollar donated to a specific species is guaranteed to go to the conservationists who protect that species.

Elephant Crisis Fund The Elephant Crisis Fund (ECF), a partnership between WCN and Save the Elephants, was established in 2013 to bring the ivory crisis to an end and create a better future for elephants in Africa.
