Your Donations to Bird Conservation: Our Commitment to Integrity in Gift Acceptance

At Birds Canada, we are deeply committed to conserving birds and their habitats across the country. We know that none of this work would be possible without the generous support of individuals like you. That’s why we maintain the highest standards of integrity and transparency in the gifts we accept.

Birds Canada is a national, registered, charitable organization, regulated by the Canada Revenue Agency. Our mission is to drive action to increase the understanding, appreciation, and conservation of wild birds in Canada. We do this with the invaluable support of caring donors, charitable foundations, governments, fellow conservation organizations, and companies big and small.

Your Inspiring Support Makes a Difference

Your donations have a direct and meaningful impact on bird conservation across Canada. By supporting Birds Canada, you join a community of passionate individuals who share a deep love for nature and are dedicated to preserving it for future generations.

We offer a variety of giving options to match your philanthropic preferences. Whether you want to contribute today or create a lasting legacy that aligns with what is most important to you, we’re here to help make your vision for bird conservation a reality.

Guiding Principles for Gift Acceptance

We carefully evaluate all offers of funding to ensure they align with our mission and values. Our guiding questions are simple:

Will the gift help advance bird and nature conservation?
Will the gift help Birds Canada grow as a strong, effective organization?

To uphold the integrity of our mission, we have made a firm commitment not to accept funding from certain sectors. These include the armaments, tobacco, and fossil fuel industries, as well as the alcohol industry specifically in the context of youth programming.

Supporting Your Philanthropic Goals

At Birds Canada, we take pride in helping our supporters achieve their philanthropic goals. Birds urgently need our support now. We welcome the opportunity for a conversation to help connect donors with top-priority conservation initiatives, creating powerful opportunities to make a real difference.

When donors choose to support a specific program or project, we establish clear agreements to ensure that the funds are used for the intended purpose. Should the original project no longer be viable, we will ensure the funds are redirected to ensure we meet the original intention as closely as possible.

Legacy Giving: Leaving a Lasting Impact

Creating a legacy with Birds Canada allows you to support bird conservation for generations to come.

A Balanced Approach to Contributions

We carefully assess all contributions to ensure that they are manageable and beneficial for our programs. Birds Canada cannot accept gifts that come with overly restrictive conditions, are excessively complex to administer, or that create an imbalance within our projects. Our goal is always to maximize the impact of every donation, ensuring that your support makes a lasting difference.
