Story Book Farm Primate Sanctuary has long been the home of monkeys, each with their own heart-wrenching story. It is now necessary to expand. The demand continues as we learn of monkeys needing sanctuary - monkeys that are being kept inhumanely in roadside zoos, monkeys that are being bred for the exotic pet trade and, most recently, research monkeys. In a precedent-setting move, Story Book Farm is now home to the first lab monkeys to be allowed to retire after surviving their research obligations. We want to provide the best long-term captive care to monkeys who have had their wild lives stolen.
In order to take in more monkeys - we already have a waiting list of two - we need to expand. This plan to build a new sustainable structure and extensive outdoor areas will cost $1million.
See our press release here , and our fund-raising campaign here.
Note: The campaign page shows the amount raised to date. Amounts donated through that page are reflected immediately. Amounts donated through this page or elsewhere will be included in the total monthly.

Generous donations from you, our supporters, make our work possible. There is an ongoing need to provide care to our precious refugees, not just for today, but for their lifetimes.
It is our deepest wish that we can continue to grow and expand our sanctuary to take in and care for even more primates in need. Each year we are forced to turn down requests to take new admissions due to lack of space and funding.
Your continued support will not only help us care for the wonderful animals here today, but make it possible for others like them to find peace and safety here and in the future as well.
Monetary donations: For all donations of $20.00 or more a Canadian tax receipt will be issued. Cheques can be sent to: 2315 Concession 10 Sunderland ON L0C 1H0
Securities: If you have securities that are worth more than when you purchased them, they may be subject to capital gains tax when you sell them. However, if you donate the securities directly to charity instead of selling them, the capital gains tax will be waived, meaning more money for the charity, and a larger tax deduction for the donor, than if the securities had been sold and the proceeds donated. CanadaHelps describes the benefits here. CanadaHelps can facilitate such donations, or you can contact us directly or through your financial adviser at sbfpsanctuary@gmail.com. (Note: This information should not be construed as tax advice. Consult a qualified tax adviser for advice on your particular situation.)
Bequests: We would love you to remember us in your will. The easiest way is to name us as a beneficiary, specifying the sanctuary both by name (Story Book Farm Primate Sanctuary) and by charitable registration number (84081 7910 RR0001). The tax benefits of donating securities described above also apply to bequests made in a will. If you prefer to spread your donation over time, your financial adviser can help you with ways to do this.
