Wilderness Defenders strengthen the Wilderness Committee

Because we are funded nearly 100% by individual donors, the Wilderness Committee values gifts of any size. You are needed on the way to winning key campaigns to protect nature, defend wildlife and fight for a healthy climate for all.

When you give to the Wilderness Committee we want to show our appreciation. So we offer you some benefits and perks, depending on your giving level and within Canada Revenue Agency guidelines (which dictate that any benefits you receive cannot be valued at more than 10% of your donation).

Trailblazers lead the way

For almost four decades the Wilderness Committee has used trail building and maintenance as a unique and powerful campaign strategy to deter logging, provide access to remote areas for scientists, photographers and activists, and introduce the public to our forests. That's why we honour our most valued monthly donors as Trailblazers. 

Trailblazers pledge ongoing support to the Wilderness Committee by making a monthly gift via direct payment or credit card. They give us the support we need to continue protecting sparkling waters, snow-capped peaks, arid plains and towering ancient trees — and the incredible creatures that depend on them! Trailblazers are truly the heart and soul of our organization.

Why give monthly? It's...

• Easier! Spread your donations across the entire year. Then see it totaled up for a tax benefit when your receipt arrives in February.

• Powerful! Your gift provides predictable revenue with lower administrative costs so we can conduct research, plan and build strong, science-based cases for more effective campaigns, recruit wilderness advocates, hire staff and invest more confidently in winning strategies for the wild.

• Fun! As one of Wilderness Committee's most valued supporters, Trailblazers receive perks, rewards and communications tailored just for you.

Benefits:

• For as little as $10 per month you can support wilderness preservation and wildlife protection year-round.
• Sign up at $15 per month or more and receive a FREE copy of our Wild Canada endangered species and spaces calendar.
• You also receive Wilderness Defender benefits, above, as a monthly Trailblazer!
