#GivingTuesday fundraiser
This year we are fundraising to expand our education programs. We give free talks about farm animals at schools, summer camps, libraries, and senior centers. We reached more than a thousand people this year. Your donations will enable us to buy educational materials and double the number of people we reach.
Help us meet our $1,000 goal.
Donate now and Facebook could match your donations.
There are no fees. 100% of your donation goes to Clorofil and is tax deductible.
Gratefully,
Isabelle

Say no to hatching projects
Too many chicks from school hatching projects are looking for a home and will never find one.
Watch this fascinating animation of the development of a chicken embryo in the egg. There is no need to hatch eggs to learn about the miracle of life.
Here is a useful webpage to learn about the dilemma and alternatives to hatching projects:
Everyone can have an impact on
Here is how your generosity made a difference in 2020:
-
Our education programs didn’t really slow down with Covid. By moving them online, we were actually able to reach people all across the US. We created “La cuisine de Clorofil”, a series of lighthearted cooking videos sharing plant-based recipes with a French twist. Skye, our dog rescued from the dog meat trade, made her debut as an ambassadress for all farmed animals with a short film that was selected by the International Vegan Film Festival. And she is also the main character in a soon to be released children’s book.
-
We rescued many chickens, often in partnership with other sanctuaries. We fostered and adopted out over twenty of them. During the horrible fire season, we helped with the evacuation of several sanctuaries.
-
Our proudest accomplishment was the release of Rescued!, a fun and educational animal trivia game for the whole family. It’s available at rescuedgame.org and all profits go directly to animal rescue and education nonprofits.
-
We extended our outreach by collaborating with local environmental organizations. We helped them promoting a plant-based lifestyle by organizing talks, food tastings, and supporting their online communities.
Giving is not just about making a donation. It is about making a difference. Here are the many different ways you can support us:
-
Donate through this Facebook fundraiser, Instagram, or PayPal.

ALERT - Virulent Newcastle Disease
Virulent Newcastle Disease has been confirmed in the Bay Area.
It is a highly contagious virus that can kill up to 100% of affected flocks. It also can be carried by and infect other birds – including wild birds and pet birds.
Virulent Newcastle disease is a reportable disease.
Very strict biosecurity is key to protect your chickens and all the chickens in California.
