It is your free choice who to donate to, however …
We spend 100% of your species/project donation on the species/project. Yes, 100%.
You get to watch that happen, and you see what you have helped supply.
And, very importantly, you get to see how you are directly helping the recipient.
Also …
… We do not give grants, donations, or bursaries with your donation; we provide tangible, trackable physical assets and equipment.
… Your donations are not used for marketing, huge salaries, lobbying, jets, or jollies etc; only the species you intended to help.
… By donating to a species, you can be helping several projects in need who work with that species.
Your donations are spent on what the projects actually need, in some cases desperately, to continue their vital work.
Yes, absolutely.
This is a great cause and a critical need for the planet as a whole.

We would be delighted to have such a conversation, so please do not hesitate to reach out to speak further on donate (at) 5wf.org.
None. Sadly, not one.
We have approached them all and they have either refused to help or have ignored us.
An incredibly disappointing show by Hedera. One which we are eternally hopeful will change for the positive.
Oh yes.
When you donate to your chosen species, or to help support our work, your entire donation is incrementally used as the needs arise. We are currently developing a personalized dashboard that every donor will have access to automatically. At the point we utilize a piece of your donation, along with other people who have donated as you have, the what, the why, the where, and the when of that spend is there for you to witness and experience.
A threatened species is a species classified in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List as being Vulnerable, Endangered, or Critically Endangered of becoming globally extinct.
Yes; absolutely. The more you support, the more we can support, and together we can make a tremendous difference.
It’s simple.
Go to our DONATE page … select a species to show some love … click to select and donate … follow the path …
… then choose another species and repeat.
Yes.
Coming soon will be your personalized dashboard. Within your dashboard will be your donation balance and the details of the contributions you have made to the species you have selected. This will include showing you the immutable ledger use of 100% of what you donated to your chosen species, being spent on that species.
You can also follow the outcomes of your generosity on our social media channels.
Throughout the year our team select the species or project internally. We also hold biannual Assistance Application Rounds, where projects in need can apply to us for assistance. Once a successful applicant conservation project has undergone due diligence and discussions with our team, the project is supported for their needs.
Yes.
When a project is selected or they apply for support, we require a due diligence process to be completed.
No.
We are also supporting reforestation, rewilding, and habitat restoration projects too. As well as ocean initiatives for 30×30 protection, mangroves, seagrass and corals, and ocean plastic pollution initiatives.
