Wildlife Victoria: Nonprofit of the Month - September 2010

Every month, Connecting Up Australia highlights some of the nonprofit organisations that we work with through DonorTec and other programmes. For September 2010, our nonprofit in profile is Wildlife Victoria.

Who is Wildlife Victoria?

Wildlife Victoria is a nonprofit organisation that is operated by volunteers and managed by a committee. They have been working on wildlife rescue and rehabilitation in the state of Victoria since 1989 on a 24/7 basis. They have a network of wildlife shelters, rescuers, transporters, emergency services, government agencies, and commercial operators.

How can you get involved?

There are different ways people can get involved with Wildlife Victoria. Some folks choose to donate, others become a volunteer or member, and some become fundraisers. It really is up to the individual, business, or organisation to choose the kind of involvement that they have with Wildlife Victoria.
