Make a Wish Foundation
Make A Wish has provided kids with life threatening conditions a way to have a dream come true. BrushBuck Wildlife Tours has provided many children an outlet into the wilderness to see whatever they would like to see with their family. Most requests are to see a wolf or grizzly bear in the wild. Our BrushBuck staff find these trips to be some of the most rewarding trips all year as we know we have impacted the life of a child and family through wildlife education forever.

Yellowstone Wolf Project
Wolves are without a doubt one of the most political issues we face in the west. The Yellowstone Wolf Project works tirelessly putting in over 6,000 volunteer hours a year to let science based research help us manage wolves for years to come.

Donations are used for expenses such as gas, employee wages, research flights, and gps radio collars.

StopRhinoPoaching.com
We have chosen this non-profit due to the extreme rise in the rhinoceros poaching epidemic happening in Africa. In 2008 there were an estimated 83 rhinos poached in South Africa, as of 2014 the number has skyrocketed to 1,215 rhinos. Wildlife must be protected for future generations and this nonprofit is working to ensure that it is.

Northrise University, Zambia, Africa
BrushBuck Wildlife Tours is proud to donate to Northrise University. By donating to education we empower local Zambians to create jobs which in turn will curve the poaching epidemic. Poaching in Africa is at an all time high and one of the main underlying factors is extreme poverty. When people have no option for jobs they turn to any means necessary to feed themselves and their families.
By creating jobs through education and tourism we are giving these people a choice to have better lives and to have pride in their local heritage and region.
