Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest
Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary
Our truly lovely friend, Shelley Winfrey, sponsored this day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees in memory of her dad, Bill Clark. We are so touched, Shelley, that you choose to honor your dad by adding to the chimpanzees’ lives in his name. We’re sending you and your family all the good thoughts for a day filled with love, comfort and joyful memories. From our hearts, thank you for all you do for these amazing chimpanzees!
The day after Christmas is the best day to relax and enjoy your gifts!
Speaking of gifts! Did you hear the big news yet??
Here’s a direct quote from Diana:
“Now, with less than a week left in 2018, our community (that’s YOU) has blown us away with your generosity. We have received hundreds of donations online and in the mail. In the last few days, Vicki Fagerlee made a $15,000 donation AND a second long-time supporter of the sanctuary has donated… $110,000!!!”
Check out our updated donation thermometer below and spread the word so we can reach our end or year goal and kick off our next building phase ASAP! Here’s where you can donate to help BRING THEM HOME!!
Our second day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees was sponsored by Jordan Bower in memory of her mom, Susan Olson. Jordan shared this very touching message about her generous gift:
“It is during the holidays that I miss my mom the most. Her greatest gift to me was to impart the love and respect she had for animals. She also loved to give gifts. I can’t think of a more fitting way to honor her memory on Christmas Day than to sponsor a day for my 7 favorite animals on the planet! Thank you for all that you do to give these 7 souls peace and sanctuary every day. Happy Holidays.”
Jordan, we’re so touched that you would honor your mom in this way. We’re sending you all the good thoughts and hope this season also brings you comfort, peace and love-filled memories. Thank you so much for this special gift for the chimps.
Sylvia Gandolfo sponsored this beautiful solstice day for Carrie Miller and shared this beautiful message:
“Cheers to Carrie and all of the chimps on this winter solstice. May Carrie’s and the chimps’ days and hearts be filled with warmth from the love and compassion we all have for each other.”
Sylvia and Carrie, from our hearts, thank you for always holding the chimps in yours. Your support makes a lasting difference in their lives and now for those to come.
Carrie, we hope you have a wonderful day full of the enchantment and beauty this time of year can bring.

Today was sponsored by Amanda Hahnemann in honor of her brother, Nathan Day, on his birthday!
Amanda, thank you so much for including the chimpanzees in your family celebration as you honor Nathan! All the primates here so appreciate you thinking of them!
Nathan, Happy Birthday! We hope you have the best birthday yet! Thank you for sharing it with the chimpanzees and for being part of making a difference in their lives.
Good friends, Burrito and Foxie:
We are so lucky to get an amazing weekly shipment of fresh produce because of an extraordinarily generous donation from Darwin’s Natural Pet Products. We never quite know what type of food is going to arrive each week and it’s really enriching for the chimps to have such a beautiful variety! Our last shipment included gigantic pomegranates that have been a perfect addition to both breakfasts and dinner forages. This morning Negra’s lips were positively dripping with their ruby red juices.
Today is sponsored by Michael Courtney in honor of Angela Courtney! Michael shared this really lovely message about today:
“Angela is the kindest, most compassionate person I know and her love for animals is limitless. She has long been following the daily lives of Burrito, Annie, Jody, and all of the others at the sanctuary and this is just a small, simple way for me to say thank you to Angela for being the biggest and best part of my life while also contributing to the incredible work that Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest is doing. From our home to yours. Happy holidays!”
Michael, we so appreciate you choosing to honor Angela in this way and for the difference you are making in the chimps’ lives!
Angela, thank you for being a light and inspiration in the world. And many thanks for being a part of the lives of these amazing chimpanzee people. All of us here hope you have a beautiful day and Happy Holidays to you both!
