Support WildInvest
Every contribution reaches the communities at the heart of this work and enables WildInvest to continue finding, seed funding, and documenting sustainable communities.
Three Ways to Give
Whether you want to support a specific community project, contribute to the charity's ongoing work, or join a growing community of conservation supporters, there is a place for you here.
Three community-led conservation projects across two Nicaraguan NGOs need your help. In La Camaroncita, Asociación Nochari's agroecology and iguana conservation programme lost $80,000 in funding overnight due to cuts by the current Administration to the US Department of Agriculture and Forestry. On Ometepe Island, the Biometepe team runs two projects: protecting the last significant population of the critically endangered yellow-naped amazon parrot, and an agroecology programme developing and sharing bio-fertilisers and organic farming techniques.
Your donation is divided equally between the two NGOs.
Across Patagonia, we're seeking out community-led organisations providing solutions for how we can coexist sustainably within our ecosystems. Once found, WildInvest will provide seed funding for up to seven organisations.
Finding and seed funding community-led organisations takes time and commitment. It means travelling to remote, hard-to-reach places, meeting local leaders in person, and standing behind our partners for the long term as they grow.
Donations to WildInvest as a charity mean supporting us at every level. This includes the costs associated with running the charity, present and future field expeditions, and funding for WildInvest projects.
Our partners on the ground are backed by a wider WildInvest community. Members provide the steady, long-term support that lets us stand behind the organisations we seed fund as they grow.
Annual membership allows WildInvest to plan, to commit, and to follow through. As a member, you join a community of people who believe the most urgent conservation work is happening in local communities, and that listening to them is where it all begins.
Members receive regular field dispatches, updates from the communities we support, and a direct line to the work as it unfolds.

Why Continuity Matters
The communities WildInvest works with have been building their relationship with the land over decades and generations. Building a relationship with them, the kind of trust that allows genuine documentation and support, takes time. Maintaining the support that allows their practices to continue takes consistent, reliable funding. When Asociación Nochari lost $80,000 in funding overnight, the farming families they support did not stop farming. But the support structure around them collapsed. This is why WildInvest exists.
