We can help you make a real difference to our natural world. As a non-profit foundation we are dependent on the generous support from individuals, companies and other organisations who share the mission of ARAÇÁ.

 

We strive to use every donation as effectively as possible, with all funds directly supporting project activities on the ground, and only minimal expenditures on administration and reporting.

​

All finances are reported on an annual basis and will be made available from our homepage.
