How You Can Help
How You Can Help Swing Along Monkey Rescue
Every action—big or small—helps us provide sanctuary, rehabilitation, and lifetime care for rescued primates. Unlike other sanctuaries, we guarantee no primate will ever be resold or relocated—your support directly fuels our species-specific, trauma-informed care. Here’s how you can make a life-changing impact:
1. Donate – Fund Critical Care
Where others cut corners, we invest in specialized solutions:
- Emergency Medical Fund: Covers urgent surgeries, diagnostics, and long-term medications for abused and neglected primates.
Habitat Enrichment: Sponsors climbing structures, foraging toys, and temperature-controlled enclosures—not just cages.
Lifetime Care Pledge: Ensures primates stay with us forever—no hidden surrender fees like some sanctuaries.
Donate now and receive:
- A personalized primate rescue story
- Tax deductions (we’re a 501(c)(3))
Other rescues rehome—we restore. Your gift heals both body and spirit.
