1 – CanadaHelps

First, you can donate via CanadaHelps.  CanadaHelps is a great organization that helps small non-profits like HWF handle online donations.  You don’t need to be in Canada to use CanadaHelps – but if you are, you’ll get the necessary receipt to deduct your donation to HWF – and everyone will get an immediate acknowledgement of their donation. There is a 4% service charge for CanadaHelps, so if you can give a bit more, that would be great!  You can use the link below to pick an account (like cam repairs, adopt a nest, or support Annie’s tracker) and make your donation.

Update – August 27, 2023 – The yellow Donate button below isn’t working correctly; for now, to donate via PayPal, please scroll down and click the Donate box under General Fund or one of the specific projects; we apologize for the inconvenience.  If you have questions, please email judyb@hancockwildlife.org – Thanks!  ~JudyB

   Fund A Tracker

   How do our 35,000 to 50,000 Northern breeding eagles find their way down to the Vancouver area to winter here? Equally important, but a very different story, what routes do the 1000 breeding pairs of south west breeding BC eagles use to fly up North to find the early spawned-out salmon runs before the freeze-up drives them back south? We now know that eaglets who have only been flying for two weeks can get to Alaska in 2 or 3 days — incredible! Help us fund a Tracker so you can follow them on our WEB site and we can all learn where our eagles come from and go to. Each Bald Eagle Tracker costs $3000 and a Peregrine Falcon Tracker costs about $2000. They can last 3 years with only a $300 additional annual phone charge. PLEASE DONATE Please Fund a tracker so we can follow these magnificent birds. Thanks, David Hancock PS: If a sponsor wishes to come with us on a day’s trapping perhaps we can arrange a day.
