Conservation Manitou Launches $150,000 Capital Campaign
Ivry-sur-le-Lac, September 25, 2025 – CONSERVATION MANITOU is pleased to announce that it has qualified for up to $450,000 in Federal and Provincial government grants to help finance upcoming land acquisition costs. However, we need to raise $150,000 from our generous donors in order to take advantage of these grants. The funds raised will go directly towards the purchase of land, as well as to increase endowment capital in our Stewardship Fund. Year-to-date, we have raised $65,000 for the Stewardship Fund, which serves to defray the ongoing carrying costs of our growing number of conservation lands. The additional $150,000 to be raised will allow us to access three times this amount in government grants, which have been one of the key factors responsible for our success in recent years.
We encourage first time donors to become Lifetime Voting Members of Conservation Manitou by donating a minimum of $5,000 and also encourage existing donors who aren’t yet Lifetime Voting Members to top-up their donations to reach the $5,000 threshold. Every dollar counts and goes towards protecting the ecosystem and natural environment surrounding Lake Manitou and other lakes in the area. Donations can be made directly online at https://www.conservationmanitou.ca/en/donate
As always, we greatly appreciate your financial support and by giving you are participating in our ongoing conservation efforts !
