This summer, we’re inviting children across Canada to take a stand for wildlife–literally! We’re making it fun and easy for kids to launch their own “stand” or other fundraising campaign and collect donations to help animals!
Whether it’s the classic lemonade stand, a garage sale, or another way to fundraise, kids can have fun while supporting an important cause. Your child can choose to fundraise for one of five different animals. No matter which animal they choose, they’ll be supporting important work to combat problems like climate change, habitat loss, and illegal hunting.
Your child will learn that they can take a stand for what they believe in – and make a difference!
START A CAMPAIGN NOW!
Starting a fundraiser is easy! Here’s how it works:
- Have your child choose the animal they want to protect, then click Start Fundraising.
- Have your child choose which reward they want to earn and set their fundraising goal.
- Create your child’s account and fundraising page by September 2, 2024. Your child can give their page a name and write a few words about what they’re doing to save animals. They can even decorate their page and make it look great!
- Start fundraising! Share your page with your community and ask people to support your child’s fundraiser by making a donation. Be sure to check out our Fundraising Ideas for some inspiration!
- Have your child complete their campaign by September 30, 2024 – you won’t be able to fundraise any more after that.
- Claim your child’s rewards! You’ll receive an e-mail with instructions about how to claim your child’s hard-earned rewards once their campaign is closed. Once you’ve submitted your information, you’ll receive your rewards in the mail in about 2-4 weeks.
- Give your child a high five! Your child took a stand for wildlife and made a real difference!

Your child can choose to fundraise for one of five amazing animals!
POLAR BEARS
Canada’s Arctic is warming at record speeds, melting the sea ice that polar bears rely on. Funds raised will support important research on how warming affects the movements of two polar bear sub-populations in Western Hudson Bay and the Southern Beaufort Sea.

RIVER OTTERS
Funds raised will support the protection and restoration of Ontario’s Frontenac Arch Blue Lake area, an important habitat for river otters which is currently threatened by the rapid spread of invasive plants. Year-round conservation in the Frontenac Arch aims to restore the site’s natural areas and remove invasive species.

SWIFT FOXES
Canada’s grasslands are one of the most endangered ecosystems on Earth. They’re also crucial habitat for swift foxes. Funds raised will support the assessment and designation of critical grassland sites in Saskatchewan as Key Biodiversity Areas, which will help to protect these globally important ecosystems.

JAGUARS
Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, which many jaguars call home, is one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth. Unfortunately, it’s also threatened by illegal logging and hunting. Funds raised will support the protection of the Osa Peninsula and its incredible biodiversity, mobilizing the community’s Forest Rangers to monitor camera traps for poaching and to restore important forest corridors that jaguars use.
GRIZZLY BEARS
Funds raised will support the restoration and protection of British Columbia’s Rocky Mountain Trench, a breathtaking valley so large it can be seen from space. The trench, which is under threat due to human development, is home to at least 29 nationally endangered species, and it supports thousands of migratory waterfowl, threatened amphibians, and populations of wide-ranging mammals like grizzly bears.
