One donation, twice the funding
At the Whitley Fund for Nature, we empower grassroots conservation leaders to protect endangered species and ecosystems alongside local communities. This holiday season, your generosity can go twice as far. Through the Big Give Christmas Challenge, all donations made on the Big Give platform will be matched, helping us reach our goal of £100,000 to fund critical conservation projects.
Why Your Support Matters
Our planet is under unprecedented pressure:
- Species extinction is accelerating.
- Climate change is reshaping ecosystems.
- Habitat destruction is happening on a massive scale.
These challenges threaten the very natural systems that sustain us, yet only 4% of global philanthropic funding is directed toward environmental causes. With your help, we can change that.
How You Can Make a Difference
Your donation will directly support our Continuation Funding programme, which provides grants to past Whitley Award winners. These grants enable proven conservation leaders to scale up their efforts across marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems. From restoring vital habitats to working with local communities to address poverty and foster sustainable development, these projects tackle both environmental and social challenges at their core.
Together, We Can Protect Wildlife and Communities
By supporting in-country leaders with the skills, knowledge, and local context to create lasting change, your contribution will:
- Halt and reverse wildlife decline.
- Safeguard endangered ecosystems.
- Strengthen community resilience and economic growth.
Seven Days to Double Your Donation
From 3rd–10th December, every pound you give through the Big Give platform will be matched, doubling your impact for nature. Your support will bring us closer to a healthier, more sustainable planet for all.
Help us reach our goal of £100,000 and ensure grassroots conservation leaders have the resources they need to protect our planet.
