Donation Options

Donate Online

The Desert Tortoise Council relies on donations to fund our mission to assure the perpetual survival of desert tortoises represented throughout their historical ranges in the southwestern United States and Mexico. Donations fund our events and activities, including our Grants Program, which provides monetary grants to researchers, land managers, and conservationists working on projects that seek to conserve or restore desert tortoise populations and habitats using science-based approaches. Please consider a tax-exempt donation to the Desert Tortoise Council, a 501(3)(c) organization, so that we may continue our mission.
