Gratitude for 30 Years of Support at ECWR

For over 30 years, Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge has been incredibly blessed by a dedicated and compassionate community of sponsors, supporters, volunteers, and local partners. Thanks to this remarkable network, we've been able to grow, evolve, and carry out our mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and release native wildlife while educating the public about the importance of conservation.

​

Large-scale projects—such as the development of our new campus, creation of animal habitats, and ongoing site improvements—have been made possible through generous grants and contributions. We are especially grateful for the support from the Santa Rosa Tourist Development Office, our County Commissioners, IMPACT 100 Pensacola Bay Area, IMPACT 100 Northwest Florida, the SEA Initiative (Salt Water Restaurants), Walmart, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and many other generous contributors.

​

These vital grants are designated for specific efforts like habitat construction, building development, and making our Refuge more accessible to all visitors. Every gift, whether large or small, helps us continue our mission and enhance the experience for both the animals in our care and the people we serve.

 

Thank you for standing with us. We truly couldn’t do this without you. Please email our Director at director@emeraldcoastwildliferefuge.org if you are interested in a Run the Refuge Day Donation.
