Donate to the Nature Alberta Endowment Fund

This is a truly remarkable opportunity. This year, the Edmonton Community Foundation’s Endowment Matching Program for Environmental Organizations (EMPEO) is matching all donations to Nature Alberta's Endowment Fund. To maximize this opportunity, Nature Alberta is using some of our own Reserve Funds, to match your donation, doubling your contribution before ECF’s matching!

For example, say you donate $10. Nature Alberta matches it, so we deposit $20 to the Endowment Fund. ECF matches that again — $20 — making the total $40!

We can generate some pretty remarkable numbers with this system. A $25 donation becomes $100. $50 becomes $200. If you donate $250, that effectively turns into a $1,000 donation!

This is the perfect time to make a tremendous impact with even a modest contribution. Your support at this time is truly appreciated.

The deadline for ECF’s funds matching is December 31, 2023.

Endowment fund contributions are invested to generate a stable source of revenue. This stability allows us to continue our mission of promoting, conserving, and protecting Alberta’s natural heritage now and into the future.

Endowment fund donations are not linked to a specific initiative or program. Rather, they support ongoing operational requirements — the less high-profile but absolutely essential day-to-day expenses of a non-profit organization. They help us “keep the lights on” in the present and build a sustainable future.

Your tax receipt will reflect the actual amount of your donation, not the post-matching amount.
