Mission Statement
Project Chimps is a 230+ acre sanctuary in Morganton, Georgia. Our mission is to provide lifelong exemplary care to chimpanzees retired from research.
About This Cause
Project Chimps is a chimpanzee sanctuary in northern Georgia that was founded to provide lifetime care to chimpanzees coming out of private research laboratories. In 2014 Project Chimps reached an agreement with the University of Louisiana’s New Iberia Research Center (NIRC), which houses the largest population of privately-owned chimpanzees in the United States, to provide sanctuary to all of NIRC’s chimpanzees. In 2016 we transferred the first group of chimpanzees from NIRC to Project Chimps, and have continued to receive additional groups of chimpanzees in phases. Eventually Project Chimps will house nearly 200 chimpanzees. Project Chimps is supported by a coalition of animal protection organizations and supporters with lead funding provided by The Humane Society of the United States. Other funders include the American Anti-Vivisection Society, New England Anti-Vivisection Society, National Anti-Vivisection Society, and the Animal Legal Defense Fund. Additional funding is provided by way of generous public support, philanthropic donors, and foundation grants.
