Amount: Currency: How much to Donate? It costs us about US$12,000 per year to keep one baby elephant, mahout, family and benefits - even after the administration and infrastructure the hotels provide so, if we are going to continue to rescue we do need cash! Any donation large or small will go to help the elephants, at the time of writing we have 17 elephants directly looked after by the Foundation and cover the basic living costs plus insurance for their mahouts and families. When funds are available we will entertain support for any project that we see as able to benefit all the elephants of Thailand, the diverse rangeof projects we are currently involved with is best viewed through the Facebook: GTAEF Helping Elephants and @elehelp Twitter accounts as, though we vet projects for their sustainability before entering into them, no two months are ever the same! How else can I help? Identify elephants in need of help If you see an elephant that is in need of rescue, whether in a big city or needing help elsewhere in Thailand, please get a mobile phone number and let me know - please fill in the contact form on this website. I can't promise to be able to do anything, but I will always try. From Thailand and anywhere..! I can accept credit card donations from anywhere, the Foundation has its own bank account and is governed by Thailand's very strict donation laws as well as being independently audited. The transaction is made by with the Anantara or Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle free of charges and the money is transferred into the Foundation bank account in its entirety. Most of you know me, have been to the camp and know we do good work - those of you who don't please consider the next options as they are a great way to help. Come and visit our elephant camps Come & stay at Anantara Golden Triangle and take part in an elephant activity or stay with the Four Seasons Tented Camp - come and see what we do! Tips left in camp are pooled between the mahouts - no bad thing; the sweeter their life is, the more chance we can persuade others to bring their eles up. Yes, the Resort and Camp make a profit from you being here and do take a profit from the elephant camp, but without the hotels the camp wouldn't function. They built the camps and continue to make them work. Both hotels introduce guests to our donation and adoption schemes. Stay in any Anantara in Thailand All the Thai Anantara Resorts ask guests to make a voluntary US$1 donation per room per night to help our elephant projects - so you can help even if our green mountains aren't your thing and you would like to stick to the beach!
