The Glider Initiative Mission Statement |
The Glider Initiative strongly believes in sugar glider education and outreach. We are committed to the education of owners, breeders, brokers, rescues, pet shops, veterinarians, and other sugar glider enthusiasts.
We are dedicated to reaching out to those in need and helping prolong the lives of sugar gliders everywhere. We believe all sugar gliders deserve a chance at an amazing life, and that starts with the education of those who own them.
About TGI
The Glider Initiative was founded in 2007 by our founding members. Headquartered in Michigan, we are a registered nonprofit within the state of Michigan. TGI also has federal 501(c)(3) tax exempt status.
The board dreamed of an organization that could ultimately help the sugar glider community once and for all. By addressing common issues today and getting them at the root, TGI is dedicated to educate owners, and other interested persons.
TGI will hold seminars, education classes, conferences, and other meetings to educate owners and public persons regarding health, feeding, husbandry, and
other aspects of sugar glider ownership.
