Become a major donor
You are a visionary and a leader. You understand how crucial our work is to the health of our water, wildlife and environment. As a DUC major donor, you have the opportunity to salvage the natural world you love. Your positive impact will be appreciated for generations to come.
Our conservation work benefits people from all walks of life.That’s why we partner with individuals, communities, government and industry to have our message heard and to get our work done. We use funds provided by our major gift donors as effectively as possible to meet our mission. In our 2015 fiscal year, we invested 92 per cent of available dollars in habitat conservation, research, public policy and education. Our efforts wouldn’t be possible without the generous support from our Major Donors. As a Major Donor, you become an active participant in some of North America’s most important conservation work.
Your gift, your way
Your donation may be pledged over a period of years or given immediately. Many donors fulfill their pledge with a monthly gift of cash. Stock, real estate or other assets also provide a tax-efficient way to make a meaningful gift. As a registered Canadian charitable organization, DUC is able to issue a tax receipt for your gift. Our major donors have the option to receive recognition in our annual report and are eligible for DUC’s major gift awards.
