You will be able to create a Team fundraising page to track your team members' progress, collect team donations and share your story as a group.   

The team works collectively towards a larger team fundraising goal, that your team captain can set/adjust. Any donations made to a team member’s individual fundraising page or directly to the team fundraising page will count towards the team’s total fundraising goal.

Fundraising can be fun and easy to do. There’s two simple ways to get started:  

1)    Fundraise online: Log in to your personal fundraising dashboard. Update your personal page and share why you are climbing for nature. Kickstart your fundraising by making a personal donation then ask for support by sharing the link to your fundraising page on social media or by emailing friends and family. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #wwfclimb

2)    Fundraise offline: Download and print the pledge form to share with friends and family and ask for donations. Host a fun event to raise funds like a raffle, garage sale or craft sale.

Online donations, made on our secure website, are by far the best method for individuals to sponsor your climb. Your sponsors will immediately be sent their e-receipts. Your personal fundraising page will register new donations towards your fundraising goal as soon as they have been made online.

Facebook or Instagram may prompt you to create a fundraiser. Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to connect donations that come through Facebook or Instagram fundraising pages to your personal fundraising page, so it is important to NOT USE these for your fundraising. This includes adding a “Donate” button to your Facebook or Instagram page.

Fundraising on social media is still strongly encouraged and should be done so by sharing your fundraising page link from your Dashboard. 

The funds you raise will support Regenerate Canada, WWF-Canada’s 10-year plan to restore at least one million hectares of degraded habitat and steward at least 100 million hectares of ecologically-rich ecosystems. Those ecosystems store carbon and provide essential wildlife habitats, so while you climb for nature, you’re also supporting our efforts to recover wildlife, restore nature and reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere.  

Conquer your personal goals and be a part of something bigger. Together we can create a future where nature and people thrive.

5. Use your credit card to make the donation. A tax receipt will be issued to your donor if applicable. 

If you prefer to fundraise completely offline, you can use our fundraising pledge form and mail it with your credit card information or a cheque payable to WWF Canada to WWF-Canada 410 Adelaide St. West, Suite 400 Toronto, ON M5V 1S8. Or you can bring the pledge form and cash to advanced check-in or check-in on the event day.

You can also access your tax receipt at any time by logging in at the top right corner of the main page. Choose Donor Login and enter the same email address you used to donate. An email will be sent to you with a link to download your tax receipt(s).  

If you are still having trouble accessing your receipt, contact us at events@wwfcanada.org or (416) 484-7700. 

Any donations made directly to a team fundraising page will be equally split among team members. This team donation split amount will appear on the individual team member’s fundraising page in pink in the fundraising bar and will contribute to the individual’s total amount raised. Please note the team donation split amount is dynamic and can increase or decrease based on total team donations and the number of team members.  

The team raised amount is displayed on the team’s fundraising page and is calculated by adding together the fundraising totals of each team member plus any donations made directly to the team. The team raised amount is not equally split among team members to count towards their minimum fundraising amount. Only donations made directly to the team fundraising page will be equally split among team members. This team split amount will appear on the individual team member’s fundraising page in pink in the fundraising bar.

We will look at the total raised amount that appears at the top of your personal fundraising page to verify if you’ve reached the minimum fundraising amount.
