Reducing human-bear conflict through education, action, and community engagement while providing lifelong care to orphaned cubs.
About
Fortress of the Bear is a 501(c)(3) sanctuary in Sitka, Alaska, dedicated to reducing human-bear conflict through education, action, and community engagement while providing lifelong care to orphaned bear cubs. The sanctuary offers a permanent home to bears that cannot be returned to the wild, giving visitors and the Sitka community the opportunity to learn about Alaska's bears and the challenges they face. Every gift made through Pick.Click.Give supports the daily costs of caring for these bears, including staffing, veterinary care, habitat upkeep, and educational programming, helping Fortress of the Bear continue its work for Alaska's bears and the people who share the landscape with them.
How Pick.Click.Give. makes a difference
Fortress of the Bear relies on visitor and donor support to fund the daily care of its bears. This need continues year-round, regardless of season or visitor numbers. Costs such as staffing, veterinary care, food, and habitat maintenance are ongoing and grow each year. Gifts made through Pick.Click.Give go directly toward meeting that need, helping ensure consistent, high-quality care for the bears currently in residence and supporting the sanctuary's education and community outreach work.
