Why I’m A Monthly Donor

/in /by

Rachelle Haddock

I have been making a monthly donation to Legacy Land Trust for the past five years.

I do this because I deeply value landscape conservation and stewardship and our shared connection to this place we call home.

Supporting the work of land trusts like Legacy is an investment in clean water, wildlife habitat, working agricultural landscapes and environmental education that will pay dividends in the future.

Having worked in the non-profit sector for most of my career, I understand how critical it is for organizations like Legacy to have consistent sources of revenue coming in throughout the year. For the cost of a meal out each month, I do my small part to support Legacy’s financial viability.

My donations are automated with CanadaHelps.org through Legacy’s easy-to-use donation form—this ensures all my tax receipts are in one place when it comes time to file.

If you are privileged to have the financial means, I encourage anyone reading this to consider monthly giving to Legacy and other non-profits you value. It feels good to give!

If you’d like to join Rachelle Haddock as a monthly donor, you can sign up here.

Early Blue Violet

It’s that time again! We’re looking for photos for our 2022 calendar. This call is open to everyone, amateur and professional, and to all ages.

What’s caught your eye? Perhaps it’s a mallard in flight or an old farmstead. Maybe an Early Blue Violet or a winter snowfall.

Our calendar theme is Worth Conserving. It features images that reflect Legacy’s three main areas of conservation—ecological, agricultural and historical. Our Submission Guidelines offer suggestions for photo opportunities in each of those areas.

You’ll also find details about image size and orientation. (No vertical shots please—our calendar layout uses only horizontal images.)

Once you’ve chosen your best shots upload them on the Submission Form. You can submit up to 5 photos. The deadline is June 30. We’re keen to see what you think is worth conserving.
