What Your Gift Makes Possible
Every gift helps protect the natural places that make Niagara unique. With your help, we can:
- Protect ecologically significant lands before they are lost to development
- Preserve critical habitats for native plants and wildlife
- Restore and strengthen natural ecosystems
- Connect forests, wetlands, and waterways to support biodiversity
- Steward protected lands for the long term, ensuring they remain healthy and accessible
Your donation ensures that Niagara’s natural landscapes are not only protected—but able to thrive for generations to come.
Ways to Give
Give Today
A one-time donation is a simple and meaningful way to support land conservation in Niagara. Gifts of any size help protect ecologically important lands and support ongoing stewardship.
You can also choose to make a monthly or recurring gift, providing steady, reliable support that allows us to plan and protect land over the long term.
All donations receive a charitable tax receipt.
Give in a Tax-Smart Way
Some giving options allow you to maximize the impact of your donation while receiving additional tax benefits.
Gifts of Securities
Donating publicly traded stocks or mutual funds is one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. Capital gains tax is eliminated, and you receive a charitable tax receipt for the full market value of the gift.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)
A donor-advised fund allows you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax benefit, and recommend grants to charities—such as the Niagara Land Trust—over time.
Honour or Remember Someone
Memorial and tribute gifts are a meaningful way to celebrate or remember someone special while contributing to the protection of Niagara’s natural landscapes.
Leave a Lasting Legacy
You can support conservation beyond your lifetime through planned giving.
Gifts in Your Will
By including the Niagara Land Trust in your will, you can ensure that land and natural habitats are protected for generations to come. Your estate will receive a charitable tax credit, which can help reduce taxes owing, including capital gains.
Other Estate Gifts
Additional options may include naming the Niagara Land Trust as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, RRSP, RRIF, or other assets. These gifts can provide tax advantages while creating a lasting impact.
A Gift That Lasts for the Long Term
Every contribution—whether made today or as part of your legacy—helps protect Niagara’s natural heritage in perpetuity.
