Frequently asked questions

Why Support Nature Vanguards?

Nature Vanguards is on a mission to change how we advocate for and raise funding for conservation and animal welfare projects doing groundbreaking work worldwide. We believe that by directing financial support to experts, practitioners and local communities in these fields, we will be able to mitigate and eliminate the most pressing threats to our natural world, and ourselves. We have partnered with credible and dedicated organisations worldwide working on the frontlines of wildlife conservation and animal welfare.
As a subscriber to the Nature Vanguards platform, you will see how supported projects unfold in real-time through updates and content from the organisations and coordinators behind the work. As we grow, you will also have an opportunity to take part in advocacy campaigns and access additional educational material and training resources.

What are in the Advocate and Vanguard subscriptions that aren’t in the Supporter Subscription?

As advocates and vanguards, you will have a more in-depth view into the projects we support, receiving regular updates from project implementers on the ground. As we grow and introduce more features, you will be able to choose which project groups and individual projects you would like to get behind, and gain access to online training on wildlife conservation and other related areas.

Can I try before I buy?

You will be able to change your subscription tier at any time, or cancel your subscription. Free trials may sometimes become available for a limited time.

How does Nature Vanguards distribute funds?

Nature Vanguards works with vetted wildlife conservation and animal welfare partner organisations operating in different contexts, and supports them to reach their target project income through our platform. 80% of funds raised through the Nature Vanguards subscription system will be channelled to external projects, and will be distributed once a project reaches its funding goal. Project implementers will in turn provide updates about the project to our subscribers.

Which organisations do you work with?

Nature Vanguards identifies, verifies and partners with on-the-ground NGOs and community organisations that are conducting nature conservation and animal welfare projects with real impact. All the projects on the Nature Vanguards platform have been vetted, ensuring that any funding received from our subscribers is channelled to achieve the intended project goals.

How can my organisation become a partner of Nature Vanguards?

As we continue building the Nature Vanguards platform, we will have open calls to conservation and animal welfare organisations to onboard new projects for funding. There will be a vetting and registration process. If you are interested in partnering with us, please get in touch.

How do you take payments?

We use payment-processing software Stripe to take payments. Once you have selected a subscription, simply choose how you want to pay e.g. via credit or debit card.
