Leave Your Wildlife Legacy

A charitable bequest is a form of planned giving: a deferred or future gift described in a donor’s will. Such gifts allow us to initiate projects otherwise beyond our reach while providing you with immediate and long-term tax advantages.

We gratefully accept non-cash donations as well as Amazon purchases of our Wishlist items.

Please contact NIWRA administration prior to donating if you would like a tax receipt to see if your donation qualifies.

Our Wishlist

Give the gift of a symbolic adoption to the animal lover in your life:

• birthday or Christmas gifts

• any special occasion

NOTE: No government funding is available, so your support is critical.

Purchase
"Bear Shares"

Bear Shares are important to us because:

• ~$40 per day is needed to meet the needs of one bear that arrives at the centre

• bears usually spend several months with us until they can be released

• we’ve had as many as 22 bears in one season!

• donations are our sole source of funding to care for the bears
