Donations
Help Us Help the Sheep
Your gift goes to drinkers in the desert, the science behind the management decisions, and the volunteers who carry the water.
Three ways to help
Time, a Drink, or Money
- Donate your time
- Sign up to volunteer for a project you can help with, or use the same form to tell us about a project you are involved in — if it’s for the sheep, we’re interested.
- Support Give a Lamb a Drink
- Your tax-deductible donation of $300 will give a lamb a drink and a life. Read about the program.
- Donate your money
- Sometimes it’s hard to find the time to help a good cause. A donation of any amount means a great deal to California’s sheep as the chapter keeps fighting drought and disease.

Give a Lamb a Drink
The Give a Lamb a Drink campaign has an ambitious goal: 90 new drinkers in five years. Those systems can support more than 6,750 additional desert bighorn, an icon of the California desert. Each system costs about $25,000 in equipment, and you can do your part for as little as $300.

Katie in the Cady’s Project
In Memory of Kathleen “Katie” Garrison-Martin
Katie passed away on September 14, 2025. For more than 15 years she was a devoted participant and volunteer at chapter events. In her honor her husband, Donald C. Martin, together with CA WSF, has established the “Katie in the Cady’s Project”, a fundraising effort to build a wildlife drinker in the Cady Mountains of Southern California — the range whose coveted Unit 9 bighorn permit Katie applied for every year, though she was never drawn.
