Your generous donation will cover necessary air travel and offset administrative costs for some of our most important national work. It also means more donated dollars can go to program work.
Help us combat climate change, protect biodiversity and ensure your right to a healthy environment.
Frequently asked questions
Why are you partnering with Aeroplan?
We use teleconferencing for meetings and choose active or public transportation whenever possible. But air travel is necessary for some of our work, such as with Indigenous groups in remote areas. All travel done via the Aeroplan Member donation program is also tracked and offset with a high-quality carbon offsets vendor.
How will you use my donated miles?
Your generous Aeroplan Miles donation allows our staff to travel by air when necessary and buy other available items, such as hotel bookings and IT products. Using your donated miles lowers our administrative costs. That means we can use a greater percentage of dollar donations for our program work.
Can I receive a tax receipt for my Aeroplan Miles donation?
No. According to the Canada Revenue Agency, Aeroplan Miles do not have monetary value.
How can I donate my Aeroplan Miles?
Two ways:
- Visit the David Suzuki Foundation profile Click on “DONATE NOW” and enter your Aeroplan login credentials. All donations made through the Aeroplan website are anonymous.
- To automatically donate two per cent of your miles as you accumulate them, log in to your Aeroplan account at https://www4.aeroplan.com/home.do. Click on “personal information” under the “Your Aeroplan” tab. Scroll down to “Your Donations,” click “edit” and select “David Suzuki Foundation” as your charity of choice.
Why should I donate miles so David Suzuki can fly around Canada?
We do not pay for David’s personal travel. We may use Aeroplan Miles if he travels when working as a volunteer on our behalf, in accordance with our travel policy.
