Your Donation At Work

Donations are our primary source of funding, and we can not be here without your support. Every donation helps! Your donation will go directly towards amphibian conservation projects including:

(1) Conducting worldwide scientific research aimed at stopping amphibian extinctions. You can learn about some of our research projects here.
(2) Providing awards, grants and scholarships to students, postdoctorate fellows and academics involved in amphibian conservation.
(3) Promoting awareness of the amphibian crisis through the media; through live presentations at schools, conferences and businesses; through improving the quality of environmental education in schools; and through the continued development of this website.
(4) Defending amphibians' legal rights: we are currently building an Amphibian Legal Defense Fund so that we can challenge policies and proposals that harm amphibians. There is currently no legal defense team on the planet that is dedicated exclusively to protecting amphibians. With your assistance we can see that amphibian populations do not continue to disappear due to blatant human mis-management.
(5) Providing schools with free educational materials such as our Frogs of Australia poster.
(6) Translating this website into as many languages as possible. Many of the world's most endangered amphibians live in non-English speaking countries so it is imperative that we build an educational resource for these countries citizens.
(7) SAVE THE FROGS! has NO paid employees, and to date has been a completely volunteer effort. This is great as it keeps costs down, but we would be able to accomplish far more if we had the funds to employ a minimum of one full-time SAVE THE FROGS! biologist. This person would lead fundraising activities, prepare educational materials for schools, write articles for newspapers and magazines, develop this website, work with legislators and other public officials, conduct research, and do whatever it takes to SAVE THE FROGS!

Please feel free to contact us to determine your eligibility.

¹ Awards will be disbursed to talent applicants who are chosen by members of the SAVE THE FROGS! Advisory Committee or Board of Directors. SAVE THE FROGS! reserves the right to reject suggested names that we find offensive or inconsistent with our mission, and reserves the right to decide on the precise wording of the Award name. Awards will be created in the amount of 75% of your donation, with the remainder devoted to non-award related amphibian conservation projects, and towards covering (1) administrative fees related to reviewing Award applications, and (2) financial transaction fees, both of which we attempt to keep as low as possible.

² We will do our best to meet all requests for presentations. However, due to the high transportation costs involved in reaching some locations, and security issues involved in some regions, we reserve the right to refuse requests for presentations. Please contact us in advance to determine your eligibility. If you are deemed eligible, we will make every effort to give presentations as soon as possible after the donation is made; however, due to potential scheduling conflicts we can only guarantee that the lecture will take place within 4 months of the donation being received. Lecture locations must be appropriate venues with access to a data projector and a white screen for slideshows. Please note that free lectures will NOT be given to donors who request that their donation be directed towards Amphibian Conservation Awards detailed in the above paragraph, as those funds are directed specifically towards external conservation projects. We can however offer you reduced rates on lectures. Please contact us for more details.
