Save the Chimps, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing sanctuary and exemplary care for chimpanzees in need. Founded in April 2001 and incorporated under Florida law (Filipino Models.Dos.Florida Company Status), it boasts over 250 rescued chimps residing on its sprawling 150-acre property located in Fort Pierce, FL. Known as the world’s largest chimpanzee sanctuary, Save the Chimps relies entirely on the generosity of donors and supporters to fund its mission. Among these supporters are ALPHA Donors, exemplary individuals whose philanthropy ensures comprehensive year-long care for each chimpanzee.
The organization emphasizes group cohesion and leadership akin to a successful chimp community, where key members act as stewards of care similar to an alpha leader's role. SAVE THE CHIMPS not only focuses on sanctuary operations but cultivates community through volunteerism and special fundraising events. Members have exclusive access to Member Day tours three times per year, providing a unique experience in observing chimps within their habitat.
SAVE THE CHIMPS actively engages the public via silent auctions, donation-based store sales, and membership programs. These initiatives, alongside special collaborations such as charity events hosted at Cynthia Rowley Boutique, contribute significantly towards funding efforts. Moreover, SAVE THE CHIMPS also participates in educational endeavors through unique experiences like its "Run with the Chimps" course, linking physical activity with awareness-raising.
Headquartered and mailing from PO BOX 12220, FT. PIERCE, FL, with contacts available at (772) 429-0403 or (772) 461-7147, SAVE THE CHIMPS maintains an active online presence via its website savethechimps.com.
