Thanks to our partnership with American Friends of Canadian Conservation (American Friends) you, as an American taxpayer, can help protect habitat for living things, soil health, and water quality with your contribution of cash or securities. You can also receive a tax benefit in the U.S. in recognition of your contribution.

Financial Gifts

Here are some easy ways you can donate to conservation work in Canada, by Ausable Bayfield Conservation Foundation (ABCF), through our partnership with American Friends:

Donate online at American Friends’ secure site using your credit card. Set up a recurring gift or simply make a one-time contribution.

You can avoid U. S. capital gains taxes and receive a tax deduction for the current value of your securities by donating stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares to American Friends. (Contact Sandra Tassel at 360-515-7171 or sandra.tassel@conservecanada.org to find out how!)

You may also mail a cheque, in U.S. funds, to:
