Every gift you give, is a gift to nature. Whether you choose to give a general donation or would like to support a specific project, appeal or reserve, your gift will save wildlife and protect wild places. If you make a general donation, Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust will allocate your gift towards our priority projects and where the funding need is greatest.

Should you choose to give a gift towards something specific, all funds will be allocated solely towards this. We ensure to be transparent with our appeals and prior to you making a gift, we would inform you of what your gift would fund should we exceed our fundraising target. Additional funds raised are often used for the wider work of Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust to restore habitats and save species.

Yes, of course! We would be delighted to hear what project or reserve is close to your heart. The funding needs for different projects and reserves are always changing so please get in touch with our Fundraising Coordinator, Holly on holly.courtney-taylor@gloucestershirewildlifetrust.co.uk who will be able to discuss with you your different options.

All donors receive official confirmation of receipt of your gift via email and post. Alongside this how you would like your gift to be acknowledged will be discussed with you personally as we understand this varies from person to person.

Absolutely! We are happy to tailor your giving to suit your individual needs. You can agree a pledge that spans however many years you would like. This style of gifting helps Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust plan its income and in turn have a deeper understanding of the work your donation will fund.

As a registered charity, Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust can reclaim the tax on your membership subscriptions and donations if you pay UK Income or Capital Gains Tax.  Gift Aid means that for every £1 you give us, Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust can get a further 25p from HM Revenue & Customs.

We promise to keep you updated on the impact of your gift in various ways throughout the year. We aim to work closely with the projects and reserves team who give us the latest updates and reports which enables us to share them with you as progress is made. We also keep you up to date with others philanthropic gifts impacts via our e-news letter which gives you insight into some lesser-known stories as well as a first look into upcoming projects and appeals.

We run a programme of events exclusive to our philanthropists enabling you to see first hand how your gift is making a difference for the county! These events can vary from behind-the-scenes visits and tours to talks with some of the county’s best wildlife experts.  

Of course! As a thank you for your gift we can arrange a bespoke tour with our land management team. They can tell you more about the work you have supported along with the possibility of taking you to some parts of the reserve not accessible to the public. 

We are very happy to consider all offers of land. We need to work closely with our land acquisition and ecology teams to ascertain if we are in the position to take on the land.
