Monthly Giving
Regular giving is one of the best ways to show your commitment to the protection of Georgia Strait. You decide how much to give and this is deducted automatically from your chequing account or credit card each month. Monthly donations help reduce our administrative costs, and provide reliable income – invaluable in planning, making strategic decisions, and leveraging matching funds.
To become a monthly donor, you can:
- sign up online
- call 250-753-3459
- print this form, fill in the details needed for monthly donations, and mail it to our Nanaimo office
Leaders' Circle
Our Leaders’ Circle recognizes the generosity and commitment of donors who give at a level of $1,000 or more annually, with members encouraged to pledge their support for a period of three years. Members of the Circle receive personal communications from GSA’s Executive Director and Board Members several times a year and are invited to attend small private gatherings focused on topics of interest. The official launch of our Leaders’ Circle has been delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions, but if you are interested in learning how you can join this group of dedicated supporters, please email cheryl@georgiastrait.org.
