Tax Season Wildlife Donations:
For some states within the United States, there is an option on your tax form that you may checkoff if you would like to have a portion of your tax refund given to your state wildlife conservation agency to be used for wildlife projects. You can rest assured that this money can only be used for wildlife and not for any other purpose, due to the fact that it is protected by federal law. For residents of New York State, the name of this wildlife donation on your tax form is called "Return a Gift to Wildlife".
Donations are a great way to help animals, both domestic and wild. Every cent collected is a step towards another life being saved. I strongly encourage you to do this. Each of the organizations listed below have been obtained from a credible source such as Animal Planet, a university, or local / state / federal government, or other legitament organization.
