Giving Tuesday 2026 is December 1, and charities across Canada and around the world are inviting people to support the causes they care about.
Although Giving Tuesday began in the U.S. in 2012, it has also become a familiar tradition for Canadians who want to give. And with so many worthy charity organizations in Canada doing important work, deciding where to give, and how to make the greatest difference with the money you have available, isn’t always easy.
If protecting British Columbia ‘s at-risk wildlife, ancient forests, and healthy oceans matters to you, we hope you’ll consider making a donation to Pacific Wild this Giving Tuesday.
Why Choose Pacific Wild as Your Environmental Charity?
British Columbia is home to some of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife and wild places. From the ancient forests of the Great Bear Rainforest to the rich marine ecosystems of the Pacific coast, these places are worth protecting.
But they face serious threats.
Wolves continue to be killed under government-sanctioned programs. Ancient forests are disappearing. Destructive fishing practices threaten marine life, while wild Pacific salmon face mounting pressures.
Pacific Wild exists to help change that.
We are an independent Canadian environmental charity working on the frontlines for nearly twenty years to protect the Great Bear Rainforest and connected ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest.
Our approach brings together three things:
Research. We investigate and document human-caused harm to wildlife and their habitats, helping reveal what’s happening in places that are often out of public view.
Storytelling. Through powerful photography, film, and communications, we bring the beauty of the natural world, and the threats it faces, to people who might otherwise never see them.
Advocacy. We turn evidence and public awareness into action, pressing governments and decision-makers for stronger protections for wildlife and ecosystems.
It’s this combination of research, storytelling, and advocacy that makes Pacific Wild distinctive.
What Does Your Giving Tuesday Wildlife Donation Support?
When you donate to wildlife conservation through Pacific Wild this Giving Tuesday, you’re helping us take on some of British Columbia’s most urgent conservation challenges.
Your support helps us work to:
- End B.C.’s government-sanctioned wolf cull.
- Protect the province’s last remaining ancient forests.
- Stop destructive bottom trawling and protect marine ecosystems.
- Safeguard wild Pacific salmon and their habitats.
- Keep the ban on grizzly bear trophy hunting in place.
- Secure lasting protections for the wildlife and wild places of the Great Bear Rainforest and beyond.
These are difficult issues, and meaningful change doesn’t happen overnight.
It takes persistence, credible evidence, public engagement, and a willingness to speak up when wildlife and ecosystems are at risk.
That’s the work your generosity makes possible.
Giving Tuesday 2026 Double-Up: Your Donation Can Go Twice as Far
We have some good news.
An anonymous donor has generously offered to match donations to Pacific Wild, dollar for dollar, up to $100,000 in matching funds.
That gives us an opportunity to raise $200,000 together for research, storytelling, and advocacy to protect wildlife and wild places.
And you don’t have to wait until Giving Tuesday on December 1 to take part.
You can make your donation early and have it matched while matching funds remain available.
why your support matters
If you’re looking to donate to a charity in Canada this Giving Tuesday, we encourage you to choose a cause that reflects your values and an organization whose work you believe in.
If that means protecting B.C.’s extraordinary wildlife, forests, and oceans, we’d be grateful to have you alongside us.
Whether you’re already part of the Pacific Wild community or considering supporting our work for the first time, thank you for caring about the future of the wild places we share.
Together, we can help build a society that lives in respectful relationship with wildlife and their habitats, and acts to protect them.
This Giving Tuesday, we hope you’ll double up for the wild by joining our global team of supporters.
