About Asia Wild
Asia Wild directs its giving toward animals rescued from abuse, captivity, and trafficking, with a clear preference for small, locally focused organizations doing hands-on work. In 2024, that approach shows up in grants for veterinary treatment, fencing, transport, food, water, and sanctuary care rather than broad institutional support. The largest recent award, $83,215 to Abraham Foundation - Trunks Up, funded a veterinary clinic and new fencing. Another major grant went to Borneo Orangutan Survival USA for a year of care for 16 rescued bears at the Sun Bear Sanctuary, reflecting the funder’s interest in ongoing care as well as rescue. The foundation also backs species-specific interventions. It funded Tiger Sanctuaries Inc for tiger rescue transportation and veterinary care, and Voice for Asian Elephants for food and water for distressed elephants in Odisha. Asia Wild’s recent grants include wildlife rescue, animal welfare, anti-trafficking, sanctuary support, emergency rescue, and conservation-related projects. Its grantmaking is project-specific and practical, with a focus on direct services for animals and the people caring for them.
What Asia Wild Funds
Asia Wild’s 2024 grants center on animal rescue and direct care. It gave $40,000 to Tigers in America (tiger Sanctuaries Inc) for tiger rescue transportation and veterinary care, and $60,000 to Borneo Orangutan Survival USA to sponsor care for 16 rescued bears at the Sun Bear Sanctuary for one year. Those awards show a pattern of funding immediate needs tied to animals already in care. Sanctuary infrastructure is another visible theme. The foundation awarded $83,215 to Abraham Foundation - Trunks Up for a veterinary clinic and new fencing, linking animal health and containment in one project. It also supports species recovery and community protection. International Rhino Foundation received $28,000 to increase the population of greater one-horned rhinos in Assam, India, while Kat USA received $25,454 to protect dogs, cats, wildlife, and humans from rabies in the Shivapuri National Park buffer zone in Nepal.
How Asia Wild Gives
Asia Wild’s recent grants cluster around mid-sized project grants: the 25th percentile is $25,454, the median is $30,000, and the 75th percentile is $50,000. The 2024 list also includes a larger outlier at $83,215 and several smaller awards at $5,000. The foundation uses both partner-style support and application-based grantmaking, and its grant program materials say it works with vetted organizations as well as new organizations during designated application periods. The records provided show 2024 grants only, so a recurring multi-year recipient pattern cannot be established from this dataset alone.
