About ELEPHANT HAVENS WILDLIFE FOUNDATION INC

Elephant Havens Wildlife Foundation Inc is a Dallas-based 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 82-3352560) that funds and operates conservation programs in southern Africa, principally an elephant orphanage and soft-release program in Botswana. The organization’s U.S. office raises donations, manages an endowment, and provides grants, technical support, and capacity-building for on-the-ground operations focused on rescues, rewilding, habitat protection, and community outreach. In the last 2–3 years Elephant Havens has substantially expanded fundraising and program activity: it established a long-term endowment, scaled capital improvements at the Botswana orphanage, increased rescue operations during regional drought and flood events, and reported a marked increase in donor support and grantmaking to its field partners.

Notable achievements

Established long‑term endowment

Created an endowment with an initial deposit of $2,000,000 to generate sustainable funding for ongoing care, operations, and future program stability.

Significant fundraising growth (2024)

Raised a record level of donations in calendar year 2024 (reported at over $5.4M), enabling substantially increased grantmaking and capital investments for field operations.

Expanded rescue, care and rewilding capacity

Doubled key site capacity and infrastructure in Botswana (new staff village, expanded bomas, additional land and water wells) while growing the orphan herd (reported increase from ~18 to ~31 juveniles) and graduating a second class of orphans into the soft‑release reserve.
