Common questions about donating to WLT

(For non-donation related questions, check out our Frequently Asked Questions page. )

 
Which Projects Can I Support?

You can donate online to our urgent land purchase projects (REGUA Project Brazil, Tropical Forest Project Ecuador, Wild Lands Elephant Corridor India, Chaco/Pantanal Project Paraguay, and Reef & Mangrove Projects). To support any of the Trust's older projects in Belize, Costa Rica, Patagonia or the Philippines, please donate by post, over the telephone or by fax.

How big is an acre?

An acre is 0.4 hectares or 4000 square metres, which is an area about the size of 200 parked cars. To convert acres into other area units, use our handy area converter.

 
Is your online donation system secure?

Yes. The World Land Trust uses a secure server to process all donations from the Internet. This ensures that the sensitive information that you give is encrypted so that it cannot be read by others.

Can I donate in other currencies than GBP£?

Although our prices are in pounds sterling (£) we can accept credit card donations from anywhere in the world. You will be charged in your local currency - see our currency converter page for more details. You can also donate in US dollars through our partners, World Land Trust-US.

 
Can I make a donation over the phone?

Yes you can. We would be pleased to accept your donation over the telephone, by post or by fax.

 
Will my donation be Gift Aid eligible?

If you are a UK tax payer the WLT can reclaim the basic rate of tax on all donations made, at no extra cost to you. (Excludes donations from company accounts.)

Can I make a tax-deductible donation?

Supporters in the United States can make tax-deductible donations to the WLT through World Land Trust-US.

 
I have left making a gift donation until the last minute! Can you send the gift package really quickly please?

This can usually be arranged - please contact us to discuss options. We can also send you the Gift Certificate by email as an electronic PDF document that you can print yourself, or email to the recipient. Please let us know when you make your donation if you would like us to do this. (Please note that the electronic certificate is created by hand, just like the printed certificate, and not sent automatically. You will therefore still need to allow time for your donation to be processed by WLT's admin team.)

 
Why is the online donation system so difficult to use?

We are working hard at finding an alternative to the online donation system we currently use. In the meantime we thank you for your patience. If you are finding it at all difficult to donate online we would be pleased to take your donation over the telephone if you prefer. Our donations office is staffed Monday to Friday, 9am-1pm and 2pm-5pm, British time, and we are more than happy to process telephone donations, and answer any queries you may have.

 
Why can't I log in to the World Land Trust website?

We have had to disable this feature for the time being. Read about our new donation system here.

 
I am unable to make a donation right now - are there other ways I can help?

Yes there are! See 15 Ways to Help Save Rainforest for some ideas to get you started.

 
Who supports World Land Trust?

World Land Trust is supported by many conservationists and others who realise the importance of saving threatened lands, including Sir David Attenborough, who is one of the Trust's Patrons. Read Sir David's and other supporters' Messages of Support.
