Donating money

Donating to FWFF is a very worthwhile action especially for those living in Western Europe. It is worth remembering that the average annual Bulgarian wage is just EUR 1,800 or GBP 1,200 so even if you consider your donation a small one it will go a lot further than you think.

Below is a few examples of ways you could donate to FWFF and how the donation will benefit the organisation:

• Unfortunately as FWFF is still a relatively small organisation our funding is not continuous, grants come for one project and then for the next and we have no guaranteed sources of continuous income. If anyone would like to set up a standing order to donate how ever much they can spare a month that would help us enormously and would allow us to have a more stable income stream.
  
  
• One off donations of any amounts are also always welcome and enable us to go that little bit further on a project than its grant would ordinarily allow us. 
  
  For example we currently run a feeding centre for vultures and other birds of prey in Kotel mountain. It has been very successful but we have plans to go that little bit further and improve the operations here. We are trying to raise an additional Ы1500 to build a 300m long metal fence with a concrete base and an electric wire to prevent feral dogs, jackals, wolves and other animals eating the food we place for the raptors. This will allow us to put less food out for the birds (as less will be eaten by non-target species) which will in turn reduce our expenses dramatically. Donations of any amount are urgently needed, please contact FWFF headquarters for more information or to donate now.
  
  
• PREVENTION IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN CURE is an exciting new funding initiative by FWFF to raise money to buy land in the Kotel mountain region and protect the eco-system while it still exists.

• Wish List: FWFF is in constant need of new equipment which is expensive enough to acquire in Western European countries and in the Balkans is well beyond the means of the average NGO. During funding proposals every effort is made to have capital costs written into the project budget but these requests are not always met so below we have made a list of items that would drastically help FWFF improve its ability to protect the biodiversity of the Balkans. If you are able to donate any of these items we would be extremely grateful, for a discussion on donating any of the items please contact us using the details on the left of the screen. We are always willing to acknowledge donors (be they individuals or companies) in our project materials.
