Nova Scotia Nature Trust

Your contribution supports permanent protection of lakes, rivers, shorelines, wetlands, and forests in some of Canada’s most beloved and threatened regions.

American Friends of Canadian Conservation (AFCC) operates like a donor-advised fund – accepting gifts of cash, securities, and land from U.S. taxpayers like you who recommend grants to qualified partner organizations. AFCC is a U.S. 501(c)(3) publicly-supported charity; therefore your donation is tax deductible in the U.S.

By contributing on this page, you are requesting that AFCC use your donation (minus a small percentage retained to cover costs of administering the grant program) to make a grant to Nova Scotia Nature Trust.

Type the amount you want to contribute in the box below and provide the information requested. To reduce administrative costs, the minimum contribution is $50. Please consider a recurring gift. You can cancel at any time.

The website will issue you a receipt. Your official gift acknowledgement letter for tax purposes will follow via email.

If you prefer to send a check go to the Donate Cash page for instructions. To donate securities, please send an email to info@conservecanada.org or call 360-515-7171.

I understand that the board of American Friends has absolute discretion and exclusive power to decide whether or not to follow my grant recommendation, and that, as required by the Internal Revenue Service, American Friends will not accept contributions earmarked for or directed to a specific Canadian organization.

If American Friends decides to make a grant according to my recommendation, I understand that American Friends will automatically retain a portion of my gift to operate its programs according to this schedule: $30 flat fee for gifts of under $500; 6% of the amount of the gift between $501 -$10,000; 4% of the amount between $10,001 - $100,000; 2% for amounts over $100,000.
