$1,370 raised from 21 donors

$5,000 goal

Support Delaware Bat Rehabilitation and Conservation and its mission to care for injured bats in Delaware.

We are raising funds for Baby Season 2025!!

Every year we at DBRC, receive dozens of orphaned baby bats that come into our care in the early summer.
Bats provide a benefit to our environment by eating agricultural insect pests, mosquitos and many other insect species.

These babies come in from all over Delaware. Sometimes they are found after falling from their roosts or falling off of mom in flight. There are many reasons that we end up with bats in our care.
It is part of our mission to rehabilitate bats in Delaware and release them back to the wild where they can continue to provide an environmental benefit.

DBRC want to give them each the best chance and care. We need your help to do so.

Our goal is to raise the funds to cover caring for the summer 2025 season.
This includes:
  • specialized formula, 
  • supplies, 
  • food 
  • incubator  

Our hope is to cover the costs to care for them all from infant to release in late summer. 
Our organization is the only all bat rehabilitation center on Delmarva Peninsula. We rely on grants, donations and 100 percent volunteer time.

We need your help to reach our goal to have a successful 2025 baby bat season!
Thank you so much for your willingness to help!


About Delaware Bat Rehabilitation and Conservation

Mission: Care for injured and orphaned bats in Delaware. Cultivate connection, awareness, conservation and stewardship of natural areas for all.

Bats are an integral part of our natural ecosystems. They are an indicator of our forests and habitat health. It is our organizations priority to provide care to injured or orphaned bats and reintroduce rehabilitated bats to the wild. In doing so, we want to ensure a broader goal to also build awareness around the need for conservation and responsible stewardship of natural areas for bats and all wildlife. 

Connecting people with land and foster a relationship of stewardship and conservation for all especially those in communities will help with dispelling many misconceptions of bats, plants and other animals. Our organization wants the opportunity to share and provide educational outreach about the environment.
