OnlyEndangereds: How This Non-Profit is Using OnlyFans to Fundraise in a Spicy Way

It’s becoming increasingly common for companies and even nonprofits to join OnlyFans, and this month the Quick Response Fund for Nature (QRFN) became the next organization to join. The QRFN is a philanthropic collaboration focused on protecting some of the world’s most critical sites for endangered species, and they decided that joining OnlyFans would be the perfect way to bring some much needed attention to endangered animals.

Called “OnlyEndangereds” the bio 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.

The tongue in cheek final sentence is a nod to the spicy content OnlyEndangereds puts out. It isn’t humans getting busy, but instead its animals like Aldabra tortoises going “slow and steady” together or lemurs doing their best “I like to move it” impression.

But how did this conservation focused non-profit become a hot commodity on OnlyFans?

It started with an article about mating blue iguanas in the Cayman Islands. Those horny iguanas were doing the deed on land protected through a QRFN-supported project, and the team took notice.

“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.”

And the team realized they could show off their work in a unique, headline grabbing way.

“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.”

And so the QRFN team set to work, creating content for their OnlyEndangereds account offers a free subscription so you can see their work (and get links to donate directly to the organization) or you can cough up a few bucks to hear “The passionate groans of this male giant Aldabra tortoise is a sound you can’t unhear.” That post costs $3.99 and features “unsettling noises produced by the physical exertion of mating, particularly the tensing of neck muscles and harder breathing.” The post also shares details about the giant tortoise and highlights how QRFN has helped save the tortoise by purchasing and protecting critical habitat in South Africa.

This is the kind of content that gets attention but also makes a difference. 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.”
