Funds donated to Save the Orangutan primarily go to the orangutans at the Nyaru Menteng rehabilitation centre. Some of the funds are also allocated to the protection of the 6000+ wild orangutans in the Mawas and Rungan area and to Save the Orangutan’s awareness raising efforts and evaluation of the supported activities in Borneo.
A smaller proportion of funds donated to Save the Orangutan is allocated to fundraising activities, donor relation, and administration.
