Fundraise
Organizing a fundraiser is a great way to support injured or orphaned wildlife.
Your fundraising gift will help Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation (AIWC) rescue, rehabilitate, and release injured or orphaned wildlife, and provide expert advice and education to foster an appreciation of wildlife.
Is it your birthday, anniversary, retirement, or another special occasion and you want to celebrate by supporting a cause you care about?
Are you a business, school or service club, or community group and interested in supporting wildlife conservation and an Alberta charity?
Facebook Fundraiser
It is easy to fundraise with Facebook’s Fundraiser feature. Simply click [Select Nonprofit] and type in Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation. Then, select your fundraising target, how long it is to stay open, and a personal message about why this is important to you. Finally, invite your Facebook friends and share it on your newsfeed.
Facebook doesn’t charge processing fees, so all funds go directly to AIWC to save injured and orphaned wildlife.
If there is someone who isn’t on Facebook, and wants to contribute to your fundraiser, this can be accomplished by:
Create Your Own Fundraiser

Community Service From Your Home
Are you wondering how to support AIWC from the comfort of your home?
Are you part of Girl Guides or Scouts and wondering how to supplement AIWC’s education with community service or activities to earn a badge in a program area?
Some of the many ways you can help AIWC include:
- Through a donation drive in your area, gather supplies and food for the animals from our wish list and either drop it off, or if you have a whole van’s worth, we can send our van to pick it up.
- Sew cage covers for the animals. The cage covers allow natural light to pass through, but help to block the view of patients in our care as they become very stressed by human presence.
- Create your very own creative and unique fundraising event for AIWC. Invite your friends and donate funds to AIWC. Some ideas are a bottle drive, garage sale, chili cook-off, bake sale, sports or video games event, dinner with admission, donate for each kilometer walked, or an auction.
