Wilderness Trust

How to contribute

Help us by donating to conservation and development projects we support.

How your donations are used

Donors to the Wilderness Trust have the choice to contribute to general funds, to be used wherever required, or to a particular Impact category (Empower; Educate; Protect), or even a specific project. Since Empowers Africa charges only nominal administration costs, and the Wilderness Trust does not charge any fees at all, donors are assured their monies are being spent completely on their chosen component.

Via our fiscal partner – Empowers Africa

Donations via Empowers Africa are tax-deductible in the USA. Empowers Africa is a US-based public charity under IRC Section 501(c) (3) that facilitates tax-deductible donations for US donors on behalf of the Wilderness Trust and CITW. 

 

Empowers Africa supports programmes in the areas of wildlife protection, human empowerment and land conservation in sub-Saharan Africa. Empowers Africa charges a nominal administrative fee of 5%, therefore, 95% of the funds donated to Empowers Africa on behalf of the Wilderness Trust are granted directly to the respective Wilderness Trust entities.

Africa’s conservation and development requirements are enormous and in urgent need of money and logistical support. The Wilderness Trust is therefore grateful for all donations received, either for specific projects or those donated in general to be used wherever they are needed most. The Wilderness Trust gratefully receives funding in several different ways:

 

  • Wilderness camp guests regularly donate to a project of their choice or to the general fund;
  • Wilderness itself periodically provides in-kind and cash support to the Trust;
  • Via our fiscal partner – Empowers Africa. Donations via Empowers Africa are tax-deductible in the USA;
  • Various fundraising initiatives run from time to time;
  • Independent donations from concerned individuals or organisations;
  • Wilderness staff members are enthusiastic about raising funds for the Wilderness Trust.
