Ways To Donate

Thanks to generous donors like you, residents, visitors and generations of families will have the opportunity to enjoy the Niagara Escarpment of South Georgian Bay just as you do today.

The ECA is fully funded by community donations, with our Bedrock Group covering nearly 100% of operating expenses through multi-year pledges. This allows all other donations to directly support frontline programs and projects—ensuring long-term impact. As part of our sustainability strategy, this dedicated group of philanthropists, who contribute $10,000 or more annually, plays a crucial role in protecting our region.
