CHRIS

Support our volunteer

Support our volunteer, Chris, who has been selected to assist with our rhino rescue missions for 2026/2027.

The Upmost Foundation is an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) public nonprofit with charity status that is dedicated to serving wildlife and environmental relief efforts. 

Each year we select a few volunteers to join a rhino rescue who each need to raise $7,000 to help contribute to the cost of the rhino rescue operations they will be volunteering to help with. Support this volunteer by donating towards their fundraising goal. Anyone who donates more than $500 to support this volunteer will receive a Rhino Rescue Team shirt in thanks for their support. A charitable tax receipt will be issued for any donation over $500.

All donations fund the following:

  • Veterinarian fees
  • Helicopter and pilot fees to track the rhinos at the highest risk of being poached.
  • Costs associated with ear notching and tagging the rhinos for identification and tracking purposes.
  • Ground support teams.
  • Lodging costs for team members.
  • Medical supplies, milk, vitamins etc. for baby orphaned rhinos injured by poachers.
  • 24-hour security patrols around the reserve parameters to safeguard the rhinos from poachers.
  • Costs to subsidize local and international volunteers.
