Facebook users can go to Chase Community Giving or simpler yet, just click on this link: https://apps.facebook.com/chasecommunitygiving/charity/view/ein/75-2815706?ref=5bfae179d2 Chase bank customers who do not have to have a Facebook account can go to www.chasegiving.com and vote. Our projects support community programs that encourage the peaceful co-existence between humans and elephants, and reduce wildlife crime including the illegal killing and trafficking of elephants and the burgeoning ivory trade. Our projects have made a significant difference in the countries of Sumatra, Kenya, Zambia and Uganda to name just a few. With the help of our supporters and project partners, we have shared best practices and built capacity through symposia, workshops, publications and scholarships. Since its founding, approximately 90% of the funds raised by IEF have gone directly to elephant conservation and research efforts. Voting is already underway and ends on September 19, 2012. We really need your help! Please take a few minutes to vote and then tell all your friends, and their friends to vote for the International Elephant Foundation today!
