Honor a loved one’s birthday by sponsoring a cheetah. This meaningful gift supports our conservation efforts to protect these incredible animals and their habitats.

Why Become a CCF Sponsor?

Your sponsorship supports our conservation work in Namibia and Somaliland, providing essential care for cheetahs caught in human-wildlife conflict incidents and confiscated from the illegal wildlife/pet trade. CCF raises and places Livestock Guarding Dogs (LGD) on rural farms to help mitigate human-wildlife conflict and keep cheetahs from being taken from the wild in the first place.

What are the Benefits of Sponsorship at $250 and above?

• Cheetah plushie: A 12-inch plush kindly donated to CCF from Wild Republic (available for USA shipping only).
• Personalized birthday card: Sent with the plushie to your loved one in honor of their birthday.
• Downloadable Certificate of Sponsorship: Print and fill out our special sponsorship certificate (link will be sent to you and also made available to your recipient).
• Updates: Twice-yearly video updates from the field.
  Exclusive access: Sponsor-only engagement activities and materials available on our password protected sponsorship web page.

How your Sponsorship Helps

Rehabilitation and long term care: Your donation helps to care for the cheetahs living at our Centres in Somaliland and Namibia. The total care for one cheetah costs ~$7,500 per year as of 2024.
Release and monitoring: Injured or orphaned cheetahs that meet a set of protocols based on CCF’s research are released back into the wild. We fit these cheetahs with tracking collars so they can be monitored during their initial post-release period and assistance provided in case of reinjury or if supplemental feeding is required.
Environmental education: CCF’s LGDs have shown a success rate of 80 – 100% at preventing predation especially when paired with predator-friendly farming techniques that prioritize coexistence in the landscape by providing training in livestock health and safety.
