Choose Your Change takes over support for Costa Rica’s Wild Sun Rescue

By AI, Created 6:00 PM UTC, May 20, 2026, /AGP/ – New York nonprofit Choose Your Change is bringing Costa Rica’s Wild Sun Rescue under its charitable umbrella as the wildlife project works toward independent 501(c)(3) status. The move is meant to keep U.S.-based donations and support flowing for rescue, veterinary and sanctuary work in Costa Rica.

Why it matters: - The transition gives Wild Sun Rescue a stable nonprofit home while the Costa Rica-based project pursues its own 501(c)(3) status. - U.S.-based donation support helps keep wildlife rescue, veterinary care and sanctuary operations moving during the handoff. - The partnership extends more than a decade of conservation work tied to the project.

What happened: - Brooklyn-based Choose Your Change said it is welcoming Wild Sun Rescue as a charitable project under its nonprofit umbrella. - The arrangement continues a conservation partnership that was previously supported through Green Wave Enterprises. - Choose Your Change will administer donations and provide U.S.-based nonprofit support for Wild Sun’s wildlife rescue, veterinary, sanctuary and ecological initiatives in Costa Rica. - The announcement was dated May 22, 2026.

The details: - Over the past decade, Wild Sun Rescue has rescued hundreds of animals. - The project has expanded veterinary capacity with two full-time veterinarians. - Wild Sun also added on-site medical infrastructure, including X-ray and blood laboratory capabilities. - Choose Your Change is a Brooklyn-based nonprofit that supports creative, ecological and community-driven projects. - The nonprofit was founded after the 2010 Haiti earthquake and evolved from a disaster-response initiative. - Its work now includes environmental innovation, community engagement, arts and culture, education and organizational development. - Green Wave Enterprises is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) focused on conservation, ecological awareness and community-based environmental action. - Wild Sun Rescue is seeking its own 501(c)(3) status while continuing to work with Choose Your Change. - More information is available on Choose Your Change’s website.

Between the lines: - The move appears designed to prevent any funding gap while Wild Sun completes its transition to independent charitable status. - Jennifer Adams, founder of Choose Your Change, said the partnership reflects care, responsibility and long-term environmental stewardship. - Adams also said Green Wave helped nurture the relationship for many years.

What’s next: - Wild Sun Rescue will continue operating with Choose Your Change handling donations and nonprofit support. - The project will keep working toward independent 501(c)(3) status. - The organizations did not outline a timeline for that transition.

The bottom line: - Choose Your Change is stepping in to keep Wild Sun Rescue’s conservation mission funded and operational as the Costa Rica project enters its next phase.
