Be sure to spread the word about the cool merch in the online store - a portion of sales will be donated to Wands for Wildlife.

If you are a business or beauty professional, please contact us before hosting a Wandraiser.
In order for us to accept wands from a business or beauty professional, we offer opportunities through the Corporate Sponsor Program. We have limited capacity in how many wands we can collect and this program helps with planning around inventory. As a nonprofit, it also provides vital funding to make this unique initiative possible.

Help locally

We receive so many wands that we encourage you to do something locally with them. See below for resources and be sure to still send in your Wand Forms/Donor List to us for acknowledgement of participation.

Turn your collection into Wand Art. Share photos/video with us!
Find a Wildlife Rehabilitator in your area - NWRA - North America resource or the IWRA - International resource.
Check with zoos, aquariums or wildlife facilities in your area.

If you contact a wildlife caregiver or facility, tell them about the Wildlife Caregiver Resource Guide found on the website along with the form to order a full kit that will be shipped to them for free.

Recycle with Pact

Between Wandraisers, find out how to recycle wands and other beauty packaging through Pact Collective. Wands for Wildlife is a member of this wonderful nonprofit collective taking responsibility for the beauty industry's packaging problem.

what is a wandraiser?

The organization relies on the caring and kindness of 'Wanders' (wand donors) to send used mascara wands and to raise awareness. During a Wandraiser event, you will find instructions on this page of the website along with a form to send in with cleaned, used wands.

Check out the video to find out what we do with the wands.

Why mascara wands?

The wands are shared with wildlife caregivers to use in the care and treatment of wild animals. They use the wands in many ways including direct care of the animals and help with cleaning items like syringes.

Wands are also repurposed through the Wand Art program, a creative initiative to engage youth and artists with the mission to help the wild ones.

Thank you for caring about our planet and the wild neighbors that rely on eco-friendly actions and stewardship.
