Teams
How do I set up a team?
Click on the Register button from the main navigation bar at the top of the page. During the registration process choose the option to Create a Team and follow the steps to set up your team page where you can choose a unique team name, set a team fundraising goal and make your team public or by invite only. Complete all the rest of the steps to register.
You do not need to add your team members at the time of registration. You can invite them to join after completing registration and creating your team page, by sharing the Invite others to join your team link from your My Team dashboard.
As a team captain, you will be able to toggle between your own personal fundraising dashboard My Page and you team dashboard My Team.
What are the benefits of signing up as a team?
Signing up as a team is great way to connect with your networks, keep each other motivated and work together towards making a greater collective impact. 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. Any donations made to a team member’s individual fundraising page or directly to the team’s fundraising page will count towards the team’s total fundraising goal.
Fundraising & Donations
How do I start fundraising?
Fundraising can be fun and easy to do. There’s two simple ways to get started:
1) Fundraise online: Login 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.

What is the best way for people to sponsor my climb?
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.
Can I use Facebook’s fundraising platform to raise funds for my climb?
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.
Where do my donations go?
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.

I have received donations in the form of cash or cheques (in my name). How do I turn them in?
Add cash donations to your personal or team fundraising page by:
- Login to your Dashboard
- Either under My Page select My Donations or under My Team select Team Donations then click on the Add Offline Donation button.
- Enter the donation amount. Please note that any money received for good sold (e.g., bake sale, raffle tickets, etc.) are not tax-deductible.
- If you are entering a donation on someone else’s behalf and they wish to receive a tax receipt, ensure you include their correct name, email and mailing address.
- 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 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.
Are all donations eligible for a tax receipt?
All donations made online through the WWF Climb For Nature website will automatically be issued and emailed a tax receipt.
If you are entering a donation on someone else’s behalf, ensure you include their correct name and email so they will receive the tax receipt.
If you have received funds from an event or bake sale, these are not eligible for a tax receipt.
For mailed-in donations of $20 or more, tax receipts will be emailed (or mailed out if necessary) 2-3 weeks after the Climb event.To help reduce waste, please provide the email address of the donor for the tax receipt to be sent electronically.
How can I access my tax receipt?
If you’ve made an online donation, you will receive an automated email that includes your tax receipt. You can also access your tax receipt at any time by logging in at the top right corner of the top navigation bar. 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.
