SAVE THE FROGS! strives to use donations as effectively as possible.

“Hi Kerry,
I have always loved frogs and I am aware of the unique dangers amphibians face due to their skin breathing (pollution sensitivity), habitat loss, etc., so for my birthday last year I asked my family and friends to help me donate to SAVE THE FROGS! as a birthday present. Your organization seems very effective. I especially like that you report your financial information in a lot of detail. I hope SAVE THE FROGS! is super successful in everything it does this year and beyond!
