## What Orangutan Sponsorship Through WARN Means
Orangutan sponsorship is recurring USD support pooled into partner grants for rescue, forest school and soft release — not co-sponsorship of a named ape you visit or keep.

## How to Start Orangutan Sponsorship from the US
Visit /adopt/orangutan, choose monthly or one-off from $5/month, select USD at checkout, receive email receipt.

## What Your Orangutan Sponsorship Pays For
Sponsorship funds rescue transport, milk formula, forest-school platforms and release monitoring — multi-year orphan care sustained by monthly income.

## Bornean Orangutan Programmes
Indonesia and Malaysia hold remaining wild Bornean orangutans. See /appeals/orangutans and /countries/indonesia.

## Sponsorship Versus Pet Trade Misconceptions
Orangutans are wild apes in rehabilitation — not pets. Sponsorship funds the whole programme without individual ape marketing.

## Monthly Versus One-Off Orangutan Sponsorship
Monthly from $5 helps partners commit to forest-school pathways. One-off gifts at /appeals/orangutans suit urgent orphan intakes.

## Gift Orangutan Sponsorship for US Occasions
Checkout at /adopt/orangutan, email WARN for a certificate. Honest programme framing.

## US Tax Status
Orangutan sponsorship is not US tax-deductible. WARN is not a US 501(c)(3). See /rescue/adopt-an-orangutan-us.

## Why US Donors Choose WARN — Transparent Partner Grants
WARN is a UK Community Interest Company global not-for-profit — not a US 501(c)(3). US donations are not tax-deductible; you receive a payment receipt for your records. WARN is a registered UK Community Interest Company (Company no. 17298990) and is not a charity, so it cannot claim Gift Aid. The donation case is transparent partner-led welfare where support reaches practical field needs. Gifts fund WARN's 17-country partner network across South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Africa, Southern Africa and South America through vetted local partners — not WARN-run sanctuaries. Give in USD at /donate or monthly at /donate/monthly.

## What Your USD Gift Buys on the Ground
Roughly $20–30 funds one street dog through catch, neuter, rabies vaccination and return where partner clinics operate. $125 supports a small clinic day. $600 helps stock quarantine after a trafficking seizure. Monthly gifts let partners plan multi-year programmes instead of crisis-only response.

## Monthly Versus One-Off from the United States
One-off gifts suit urgent appeals at /adopt/orangutan/. Monthly at /donate/monthly or symbolic adoption at /adopt builds predictable income for vaccination rounds and rehabilitation. Checkout accepts USD; neither route implies ownership of an individual animal.

## What WARN funds
- Sedation rescue and transport for displaced orangutans.
- Forest-school milk, veterinary supplies and keeper training.
- Soft-release monitoring in protected habitat corridors.
- Sponsorship gift certificates when requested.
