Your Dollars at Work

Your monthly gift—no matter how big or small— can help polar bears all year-round.

For example, $10 per month or $120 per year can fund enough “Be Polar Bear Aware” colouring books for one northern community classroom.

The same amount could provide a year-supply of bear spray for one polar bear conflict-reduction team; or support conflict reduction workshops; or bear-resistant dumpsters. Your monthly gift can also provide safety materials that help people understand how to live and recreate in polar bear habitat. From science to education to action, your dollars are always working for polar bears!

Since I was a kid, I have loved polar bears—ever since I started hearing stories about my dad's three years in Churchill, Manitoba as a young boy. I was fascinated with the thought of a 'far-off' place in my own country, cold and ice-covered, that was somehow full of life, and where there lived a special white bear.

As I got more involved in conservation, I discovered Polar Bears International and became a donor because of their sole focus on protecting polar bears. I know that my monthly support makes a difference to their work, and I'm happy to help ensure a future for polar bears and their Arctic home.

I have a deep passion and love for animals, and in particular, bears. As a Canadian, our vast wilderness is known around the world, and I believe that nature nurtures us. Can you imagine a world without Polar bears? Neither can I, and that is why I choose to donate monthly to Polar Bears International.

I want to make a difference and be part of the solution for our great white bears in the Arctic. Polar Bears International is knowledge and science-based, and I love that I continuously become more educated with regards to the bears through their website, which is highly engaging.

I appreciate the fact that they have various partnerships with other conservation groups. And with Polar Bears International being transparent, I feel very confident knowing where my donation is going.

I have had a lifelong interest in polar bears since seeing my grandfather’s photographs of the Hudson Bay area in the 1930’s and 40’s. As I learned more about polar bears, that interest just increased. A life thrill for me was seeing a mother polar bear and her three cubs while dog sledding in Nunavut some twenty years ago.

I give to Polar Bear International because I want to support the scientific research, they do to learn more about polar bears and support their survival in this time of climate change.
