Designarchy currently donates service hours to 1 organization that promotes the betterment of people, communities, animal welfare and the environment:

• Yggdrasil Urban Wildlife Rescue Center: Dedicated to the rehabilitation of orphaned and injured wildlife living in urban city centers and education of the public about how to live harmoniously with the cities’ wildlife. YUWR assists the cities of Oakland, Piedmont, Berkeley, Albany, Alameda, and surrounding cities in the State of California, USA. This non-profit also teaches compassion and patience with those animals that co-exist with us in the urban environment. Yggdrasil works quietly under the radar doing truly remarkable work. They need a new location urgently. http://yuwr.org/

In the past, we donated service hours to the following organizations:

• Dharma Publishing: Founded by Tharthang Tulku, DP is entirely run by volunteers. It is the publisher of Tibetan literature and art, and a major contributor to the Yeshe De Text Preservation Project—the free distribution of ancient Tibetan Sacred texts to tibetans living in exhile.

• SFROMP (San Francisco Rescued Orphan Mammal Program): This non-profit rehabilitates injured and orphaned native wildlife, such as baby racoons, opossums, skunks and squirrels and re-introduces them back into their environment. This non-profit is run entirely by volunteers and funded only by its supporters. Check out their website at www.sfromp.org
