Monthly giving

Protect what you love, every month

Nature sustains us every day. A monthly gift is a simple way to turn your care for nature into action all year long. Your steady support protects lands, waters and wildlife, while giving us the flexibility to act quickly when important conservation opportunities arise. Month by month, your gift creates a lasting impact.

Nature needs ongoing care. Monthly giving turns your commitment into steady action, protecting and restoring lands, waters and wildlife across Canada while giving us the flexibility to act soon as important conservation opportunities arise.

Be a steady force for nature

Your monthly gift gives nature something it needs most: steady, reliable support. Your ongoing commitment enables us to take action the moment a critical conservation opportunity comes up, protecting the most important places before they’re lost.
Make your giving go further

Giving monthly can make a bigger impact possible. Smaller, manageable gifts add up over time. Month by month, your generosity grows into lasting support for the lands, waters and wildlife you care about.
Give nature lasting care

Every month, your support provides the ongoing protection and care nature needs, from restoring habitats and caring for protected lands to giving wildlife the space they need to thrive. Together, we can ensure the places protected today stay healthy and protected for generations to come.
Join a community doing more, together

Becoming a monthly donor makes you part of a growing community of people who care deeply about nature and believe we’re stronger together. Each month, your individual gift adds up with others, creating a collective impact that reaches further and does more for nature than any of us could achieve alone.

To our monthly donors — thank you. Your passion and commitment sustain our conservation work, protecting and caring for Canada’s lands, waters and wildlife every day of the year. Together, we’re building a lasting legacy for nature and future generations.

“I had been giving one-time donations for a number of years, usually at the end of the year. When I learned how valuable it is for NCC to have that sustainable income, I started giving monthly so my contribution would be more efficient and effective.”

“I sleep better knowing I’m doing my best to contribute to the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss. There are a whole lot of things you do as an individual, but you can do something as part of a greater whole by donating monthly. This is something I can do.”

“My family loves seeing the new conservation projects we’re making possible, and dreaming up plans to visit the NCC properties we’re helping to protect. You can literally see the work that’s being done. To be able to show my kids what our donation accomplishes by pointing to a map is priceless!”

Frequently asked questions

Why are monthly donations so important to NCC?

Nature needs protection every day of the year. Monthly donations provide steady, reliable funding that helps NCC plan ahead, respond quickly when important conservation opportunities arise, and invest in long-term projects that protect nature across Canada.

By giving monthly, you provide ongoing support that helps ensure conservation work can continue whenever and wherever it is needed most.

How is a monthly gift different from a one-time donation?

Both one-time and monthly donations make an important difference for nature. A one-time gift provides immediate support, while a monthly gift spreads your giving across the year through smaller, automatic contributions.

Monthly giving allows NCC to plan ahead, invest in long-term conservation projects, and respond quickly when important opportunities to protect land and wildlife arise. It also reduces administrative costs, meaning more of your donation can go toward conservation.

For many supporters, monthly giving is also a convenient way to make a larger impact through manageable monthly contributions.

What impact does my monthly gift make?

Every monthly donation contributes to protecting the natural spaces that Canadians care about.

Together, monthly donors help NCC conserve important habitats, protect species at risk, restore ecosystems and respond when critical conservation opportunities arise.

Your gift combines with thousands of others to create lasting conservation impact across Canada.

What amount should I give each month?

The best monthly gift is one that feels comfortable and sustainable for you.

Many supporters choose an amount they can easily fit into their monthly budget. Whether you give $10, $20, $30 or more each month, your ongoing support helps protect Canada’s lands, waters and wildlife year-round.

Can I change or cancel my monthly gift?

Yes. You remain in full control of your monthly donation and can increase, decrease or cancel your gift at any time.

Simply contact our Supporter Services team at 1.800.465.8005 or email us at supporter.services@natureconservancy.ca and we’ll be happy to help.

Can I update my payment information?

Yes. If you need to update your payment information, please contact our Supporter Services team.

Keeping your payment information up to date helps ensure your monthly gift continues uninterrupted, allowing your support to have the greatest possible impact for nature.

Will I receive a tax receipt?

Yes. Monthly donors receive a single annual tax receipt in February that includes all eligible donations made during the previous calendar year.

Your receipt will be sent automatically, making tax time simple and convenient. To ensure you receive it, please keep your contact information up to date. If you have moved or need to update your mailing address, please contact our Supporter Services team by phone or email.

All online donations are processed through secure payment systems, and your information is handled in accordance with our privacy practices and applicable privacy laws.
