About Project Chimps
Project Chimps provides loving, lifelong care to chimpanzees retired from research. Our 200+ acre sanctuary—currently home to 95 chimpanzees—is located in the beautiful forests of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We strive to provide an enriching physical and social environment, where the chimps can make choices about how they spend their days, build confidence, and exercise their natural skills and behaviors.
Your financial support helps us provide these individuals with nutritious foods, state-of-the-art veterinary care, enrichment resources, and other programs designed to support social companionship necessary for them to live healthy and fulfilling lives. If you live in the area, please consider volunteering your time.
What's ahead? In the next several years, we expect to welcome nearly 100 more former research chimps from the New Iberia Research Center, at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. In order to bring them all home, we'll need more living areas for chimps and more caregiver staff to provide them with the care they need. And we'll need your help to get there.
