One non-profit has come up with an ingenious way to raise funds and awareness for their cause: they created an OnlyFans account. The Quick Response Fund for Nature (QRFN) made the announcement earlier this month, launching the account on National Endangered Species Day. While it’s not uncommon for companies to turn to OnlyFans as a unique marketing or fundraising tool, QRFN’s take is decidedly different.
The QRFN is a philanthropic collaboration focused on protecting some of the world’s most critical sites for endangered species, and they are using the subscription-based platform OnlyFans to bring some much-needed attention to endangered animals — while also raising money for their cause.
The account, which they have brilliantly called “OnlyEndangereds” offers a free basic subscriptio and a bio that reads:
“🐸Welcome🐢to🦏OnlyEndangereds!
🐯The🐘OnlyFans🐵account🦜that🐻saves🦎endangered species.
By subscribing and viewing content on OnlyEndangereds, you support Quick Response Fund for Nature (QRFN), a rapid response fund that protects the last homes of endangered species like elephants, rhinos, ring-tailed lemurs, tortoises, Amazon parrots, Cayman blue iguanas, tropical tree frogs, and many others.
Since its inception, QRFN has funded 64 projects in 23 countries and protected more than 90,000 acres of critical land. The Fund has awarded $1.9M in grants annually and has leveraged an additional $28M towards habitat protection.
You can donate safely at the link below. Donations are tax-deductible and go directly toward QRFN’s mission to save the habitat these species need to survive and, well, mate in peace.”
And mating is indeed what you will find on their page — but not the kind that you might usually see on OnlyFans. No, there are no humans on OnlyEndangered. Only animals like Aldabra tortoises offering up a graphic show, or lemurs getting in on the action.
The decision to join the platform came after QRFN employees read an article about mating blue iguanas in the Cayman Islands. The land that the iguanas were on was only available to these endangered creatures thanks to a QRFN-supported project that protected it — and that led to the QRFN team coming up with a plan
“Quick Response Fund for Nature (QRFN) had provided a grant to support the expansion of the Salina Reserve there, so it struck us that the article was a great example of why our work matters,” said Dave Loew, an advisor with RESOLVE.
“By protecting habitats like the Salina Reserve, QRFN is not just saving land — we’re creating the conditions that allow rare and endangered species to survive and reproduce in the wild.”
But simply sending out a press release wasn’t enough. They knew that a press release would just get lost in a news cycle. But a non-profit joining OnyFans? That could get attention.
“The ‘aha’ moment was realizing that these rare glimpses of survival…could tell a bigger story. And maybe, if we presented it with a bit of humor and edge, we could reach new audiences,” Loew continued.
And that’s exactly what they’ve done. While their OnlyFans is free (and every post is a call to donate directly to their cause), you can purchase some content like “the passionate groans of this male giant Aldabra tortoise is a sound you can’t unhear” for only $3.99. The cheeky language is fitting with what QRFN is trying to accomplish.
QRFN Manager Sanjiv Fernando said, “OnlyEndangereds uses humor to get people’s attention, but the goal is very real. Raise awareness and raise funds to protect habitat before it’s too late.”
And if OnlyFans isn’t your thing, you can learn more about QRFN’s goals and SFW content on their Instagram account.
