The Wabakimi Legacy Fund

What is the Wabakimi Legacy Fund?
The Wabakimi Legacy Fund is for those who love the Wabakimi Provincial Park and surrounding areas to make gifts, or bequests, to help keep Wabakimi wild and accessible for generations to come. The Fund is an initiative of, and managed by Friends of Wabakimi (FOW), a vibrant and passionate, volunteer-run, international organization that is making vital contributions to the Wabakimi Area.

What will the Fund be used for?
The Fund is intended to provide stable and sustainable funding with a mid- to long-term horizon for key projects in the Wabakimi area, with the mission to keep Wabakimi wild and accessible for generations to come.  (See our successful projects in the left panel.)

How could I participate?
The Fund welcomes donations of any amount at any time: an online donation is very straightforward, secure and easy for both the gift-maker and FOW. 

The Fund welcomes legacy gifts or bequests. The gift-maker adds FOW to their will, which might be a set amount, or might be a percentage. This is then gifted to FOW upon execution of the will. If you already have a Will, you might just add a Codicil.  With your permission, you will be acknowledged in the Wabakimi Legacy Circle.

Legacy gifts are flexible and revocable, enabling donors to hold on to their precious cash during their lifetimes, with no immediate cash outlays. It then becomes your valuable legacy to the Wabakimi area you love. You might wish to speak with your adviser. 

​The Fund is separate from FOW’s day-to-day operating funds. Monies are held in accounts, set up by FOW’s Treasurer, in a major bank in Canada and a major bank in the United States. The deposits are federal insured.

Please note that all donations are in CAD.  USD donations will be converted at the current rate of exchange.
