Match the Moment

This December, you have the opportunity to double your impact on private land conservation across Ontario. A generous anonymous donor has pledged to match every dollar donated—up to $10,000 $12,000! Our $10,000 goal was reached in 10 days, unlocking an additional $2,000 in matching funds, thanks to an inspiring anonymous donor! 

Your gift will go twice as far in protecting Ontario’s natural heritage and supporting the critical work of land trusts.

Together, we can strengthen communities, preserve precious ecosystems, and ensure Ontario’s lands remain vibrant and resilient for generations to come. 

Why Your Support Matters

Your contribution to OLTA’s Partners in Protection campaign directly supports our mission to empower land trusts across Ontario. Ontario’s lands are under increasing pressure from climate change and habitat loss. Together with our partners, we are working to protect these vital spaces for the benefit of our communities, wildlife, and future generations. But we can’t do it alone. 

With your help, we can: 

Promote Land Trust Organizational Excellence

Your support will enable us to build stronger land trust organizations across Ontario, equipping them with the tools and training needed to preserve more of our natural heritage more effectively.

Increase Influence and Visibility of Community Land Conservation

Your gift helps us amplify the importance of protecting Ontario’s lands. Together, we can foster meaningful dialogue with policymakers, government agencies, and the public to shape policies that directly support land trusts.

Grow Organizational Capacity to Serve the Land Trust Community

Every dollar you give helps expand OLTA’s resources, allowing us to better serve our member land trusts with expertise, advocacy, and guidance to thrive.

Provide Leadership to Advance Diversity and Inclusion

We’re committed to making land conservation accessible and equitable. Your donation will help ensure diversity and inclusion are embedded in every land trust practice, creating stronger connections between all communities and the lands we cherish.

Double Your Impact

When you give to OLTA’s Partners in Protection campaign, your donation is matched dollar-for-dollar—making this the perfect time to give. A $50 gift becomes $100, and $500 becomes $1,000, ensuring your generosity has an even greater effect on protecting Ontario’s lands. 

Partners in Protection

We gratefully acknowledge our early contributors and ongoing supporters who have already stepped up to match the moment. As we progress toward our $10,000 $12,000 goal, we’ll regularly update our fundraising progress and celebrate those who make this campaign a success.
