Wildlife Champions Circle

Protecting People, Wildlife, and the Planet

 

“I believe that we need to share this planet with fellow creatures and plants. And to be responsible guardians for the future.”
– Mary Ellen, Florida, WCC member since 2021

The Wildlife Champions Circle is the National Wildlife Federation’s premier group of donors, comprised of those who contribute outright, unrestricted gifts of $1,000 - $9,999 per year. As philanthropic leaders, Champions Circle members fuel our continued efforts protecting species, restoring habitats, and advancing scientific solutions to the nation’s most pressing conservation issues.

The impact of Champions Circle members’ support is felt across the nation. Because of these unrestricted gifts, the Federation can respond to threats against wildlife as they emerge. Contributions from the Champions Circle are critical for Federation experts and scientists, allowing them to continue defending critical habitats, restoring coastal areas, combatting climate change, and inspiring the next generation of conservationists.
