Double The Impact of Your Gift this GivingTuesday!
Posted: 2024.12.02
Forests and trees are an integral and interwoven part of our daily lives.
For some, they offer a beautiful backdrop for outdoor recreational opportunities and watching wildlife in their natural habitats. Many also find spending time in nature helps to reduce everyday stress and boosts their mood.
Across Canada, our forests are facing an unprecedented decline in biological diversity coupled with an increased risk of high-intensity wildfires. Our work to ensure long-term forest health and resilience in the face of a changing climate is more important than ever – but we can’t do it alone. We need your support to create diverse, resilient, thriving forests.
Starting on GivingTuesday, when you donate to Forests Canada this holiday season, the impact of your gift will be DOUBLED!
Ontario Power Generation has generously committed to match donations up to a maximum total of $15,000*, which means your gift will go that much further to:
- Support seed to survival to sustainability, ensuring the millions of viable tree seeds we source and collect each year find a home and thrive for generations to come.
- Empower youth to learn how our forests provide social, economic, and health benefits that we experience daily.
- Create a network of meaningful community partnerships to support and uphold our responsibilities to the lands, forests, and landscapes.
- Provide food, shelter and refuge for a variety of iconic Canadian wildlife.
- Build capacity and support local jobs and communities to ensure the long-term health and resiliency of our forests.
- Create a greater public understanding of why our natural world is so critical for our survival and wellbeing, and the importance of investing in the health and sustainability of forested landscapes for people and planet.
Give today and your donation will be matched to support Forests Canada’s mission to conserve, restore, and grow Canada’s forests to sustain life and communities.
With a disruption to mail service due to the current Canada Post strike, there will be a delay in receiving mailed donations and mailing out tax receipts. We encourage you to make your year end donation online.
