Hold A Fundraiser

Help support conservation efforts in the Grand River watershed

Laura's Nature Club

Thank you for your interest in holding a fundraiser to support the Grand River Conservation Foundation. By hosting a fundraiser in your own community you can support conservation efforts in the Grand River watershed that is meaningful to you!

In the past, events have included gala dinners, draws and trail rides, planned by people and groups who care deeply about our local environment.

Join friends and family members to come up with a fundraising idea that suits you, your personal network and your schedule. Your event should align with the size, interests, talents and time you have available to commit to it.

How we can help

We can support your fundraising efforts by:

Helping you identify a specific project or program to raise funds for, and guiding you to create a fundraising webpage to easily monitor donations.
Providing background information about the GRCF, GRCA and the Grand River watershed, including take-home materials for your event.
Recognizing your success on our website and social media pages.

Get started today

If you have an event in mind, or would like to know more about specific conservation efforts, please contact us.
