Add 8% for Operating Costs
We work hard to ensure that all of your dollars are used effectively and efficiently. On average, 93% of all money that comes to WCN directly supports our conservation programs, with only 8% used for operating expenses (i.e. bank transfer fees paid by WCN so Partners receive 100% of gifts). Help us keep our commitment to send 100% of every designated donation to field partners with this additional optional donation.
