Adoption

Be a GCC Parent. At the Gibbon Conservation Center (GCC), we are dedicated to the preservation of the endangered small ape, the gibbon. We work entirely through volunteers and donations. We know you care about the survival of these special primates too and would like to help. Aside from volunteering your time or donating money or materials, one good opportunity is our Adopt A Gibbon and Adopt A Species programs. These provide desperately needed funds toward the support of the nearly 40 gibbons who call GCC home. You can help feed them and provide other essentials by adopting your favorite. Join us! GCC is a 501(c)(3) registered charity. Your contribution is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Our Federal Nonprofit Number is 95-4256306.
