CPAWS is Canada’s leading voice for wilderness protection, thanks in large part to our supporters and volunteers. By supporting CPAWS, you’ll help to ensure that our children, and theirs to come, will thrill at the sight of the swift fox, the scent of sweet forest pine or the sound of the loon.
One-time gift or monthly giving
Your financial support funds our work to keep Canada wild. You can make a single gift or join over 2,300 Wilderness Protection Club members who support CPAWS with a monthly donation.
Send an e-card
Our easy-to-use e-card system enables you to mark special occasions like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Birthdays, or to simply send a note to let someone special know you’re thinking of them, while making a special gift to nature as well.
Gift in your will
Legacy giving is an impactful way to contribute to the protection of Canada’s land and ocean, which ensures the long-term survival of our unique wildlife. By leaving a gift in your will to CPAWS, you’ll be helping to conserve our country’s magnificent wilderness forever.
Gift of securities
Making a gift of securities benefits both the donor and the charity. Your donation of securities to CPAWS supports our work to protect at least half of Canada’s land and ocean while giving you tax benefits!
Fundraise for CPAWS
You can support us by planning or sponsoring an event to raise funds, otherwise known as Third Party Fundraising. CPAWS is happy to support fundraising events and activities that follow our Third Party Fundraising Guidelines.
