Donate to help raise awareness of the issues faced by elephants worldwide
World Elephant Day is the annual international campaign and global movement to protect elephants through awareness, education, and action. Founded in 2012, the World Elephant Day campaign reaches millions every year – spotlighting the emotional lives of elephants the threats they face, and the grassroots champions working to protect them. We are a small but mighty team of dedicated conservationists led by founder and filmmaker Patricia Sims. We rely on your donations to keep us going.
World Elephant Society is our nonprofit tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charity organization (EIN 47-5675923) that supports the annual World Elephant Day campaign, website, and events.
Your donations to World Elephant Society will keep the annual World Elephant Day campaign growing, and help us continue to be the collective voice speaking out on behalf of elephants.
World Elephant Day is officially held on August 12 of every year to celebrate the world’s elephants. Beginning in 2012, we have spearheaded international media outreach about the elephants and their imperilled plight. Through this outreach to the public and in conjunction with other elephant conservation organizations we have amplified our reach exponentially for increased impact on the elephants’ behalf, year after year. We celebrate World Elephant Day with the global public and the information on the World Elephant Day website may be used free of charge, with the exception of the World Elephant Day logos, which are registered trademarks.
The use of the World Elephant Day trademarked logos without written permission constitutes a violation of copyright. All organizations or individuals who wish to use the World Elephant Day logos should contact us directly at: info@worldelephantday.org.
The year-round work of World Elephant Society includes the on-going educational outreach and creation of educational materials and media, such as the World Elephant Day website, books, documentaries, music, to inform the public about the plight of African and Asian elephants. Your contributions will also help us to research the care and management of elephants working in tourism to help educate tourists on making ethical decisions on which establishments to visit and support.
