KRUSHAN FOUNDATION

Description

We are unique in three ways:

• We are the only US-based 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated solely to protecting critically endangered African penguins from extinction.
• Your donation carries an exponentially more significant impact because we leverage the strength of the dollar and its favorable exchange rate to the South African rand. Your donation will make a real difference.
• We respect our partners’ expertise and never dictate how they run their organizations. They appreciate this approach. By rejecting the traditional power imbalance of donor over grantee and embracing trust-based philanthropy, we and our partners maintain transparency and honesty with one another. This safe space enables us to be truly effective for our partners.

• responding to emergencies or time-sensitive needs, and
• equipping African penguin populations with artificial nests.
