NWA Gives 2026: A Second Chance for 24 Lives

Each year, NWA Gives is more than just a day of giving—it’s a powerful reminder of what compassion, community, and action can accomplish together.

On April 9, 2026, Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge invites you to join us once again for this incredible day of impact. This year, your support carries even greater meaning as we work toward a vital goal: providing lifelong care and critical veterinary treatment for the 24 animals rescued in 2025.

These animals came to us from situations of neglect, exploitation, and crisis. Today, they are safe—but their journey is far from over. With your help, we can continue to give them the second chance they deserve.

A New Way to Experience NWA Gives

This year, we are doing something different—and something truly special.

Our traditional documentary has grown into something much bigger: a feature-length film.

Because of this, we want to give you the time and space to fully experience it.

For 24 hours only, we will be providing free access to our new documentary, 24 in 25, in high definition—available for you to watch at your own pace.

Join us Thursday, April 9th, for NWA Gives 2026

Even more exciting—those who donate early will receive something extra.

Donate before April 9th and receive an exclusive early access link to the film on Wednesday evening, April 8th.

It’s our way of saying thank you—and giving you a first look at a story that means so much to all of us.

What Your Support Makes Possible

This year’s campaign is focused on something deeply important:
ensuring every rescued animal receives the lifelong care they need to heal and thrive.

When you give, you help us:

Provide essential veterinary treatment for rescued animals
Deliver daily care, nutrition, and enrichment
Maintain and improve safe, natural habitats
Support animals who will never be able to return to the wild

These are not short-term needs. This is a lifelong commitment—and one we can only fulfill with your continued support.
