Dear LWF supporter,
The wonder of new discovery is a special thing.
At LWF, we believe discovery through education can light the spark of curiosity in a young scientist or conservationist. We want Manitoba students to have the opportunity to get hands-on with water stewardship.
Our school field trip fund creates this opportunity – providing local teachers with small grants that offset the transportation costs and entrance frees of water-related excursions. Over the years we’ve made experiential learning possible for hundreds of students at Oak Hammock Marsh, FortWhyte Alive, the Manitoba Museum and onboard the M.V. Namao research vessel.
In 2017, we want to light the spark of curiosity in even more students by growing our school field trip fund – and we need your help to do it.
Giving Tuesday and LWF
Occurring on the first Tuesday after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday – immediately after the sales frenzy of Black Friday and Cyber Monday – Giving Tuesday is a day to support philanthropy.
Giving Tuesday 2016 takes place on Nov. 29 – one week from today. This year, your donation will send Manitoba students on their next water adventure. Our goal is to raise $2,000 in 24 hours, and we’ve created a special online donation page that makes giving easy! (It’s already live, should you want to donate today.)
All Giving Tuesday donations we receive will support our 2017 school field trip fund. You can learn more about the impact of your gift here.
Donate now to send students on a water adventure. Your generosity will make a difference.
Thank you for your ongoing support,
The LWF team
