With your help, Tusk will be able to make an even greater difference for Africa’s wildlife, natural habitats and people. There are many different ways in which you can get involved, and we’re here to support your efforts.
Much of our work would not be possible without the funds raised through the amazing energy and enthusiasm of our supporters. Whether you’d like to fundraise alone, with friends or colleagues, we hope you’ll be inspired to take on a challenge for Tusk.
We have charity places in the London Marathon, organise our own Lewa Safari Marathon event in Kenya, and offer places on other exciting challenge fundraising events.
Whether its these or another event that you’d like to take part in, or you’d like to arrange your own fundraising event, we will give you all the support you need to hit your fundraising targets and have an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s organising a bake sale or coffee morning, a pub quiz or dinner party, or you’re looking to collect donations in lieu of birthday, wedding or anniversary presents, we can support you with setting up an online fundraising page, and can send you a fundaising pack that will help you on your way. We look forward to hearing from you!
Every donation we receive makes a huge difference to our work, but gifts left in Wills are particularly special to us. Making, or even updating, a Will and leaving a gift to Tusk coundn't be easier these days, with a number of options available.

For American supporters wishing to donate in the most tax efficient way you can choose to support our work through “The Friends of Tusk Fund” – a donor advised fund administered on behalf of Tusk by CAF America, a U.S. public charity (Tax ID 43-1634280). Gifts made here are 100% tax deductible in the U.S. Click to donate and select that you are donating from the U.S, or download a Gift Form to send a check to CAF America.
Donate direct from your salary before any other deductions are calculated – so you do not pay tax on the amount donated. Check with your payroll department to see if your employer offers this facility. For further information visit the Payroll Giving web site.
This is an effective way for UK donors with investments to donate. The gift will be eligible for income tax relief. In addition, Capital Gains Tax (CGT) does not apply.
