Become a monthly Raincoaster to make waves year-round

Whether it’s $15 or $150 a month, your gift is greater than you think.

Join the Raincoaster community

Our monthly Raincoasters are dedicated to protecting the homes of native wildlife in coastal British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest.

With new ways for donors to get involved, we aim to make this space feel like a true community – and here’s how we’re getting started:

Early bird event tickets to connect with us in-person
Merch discounts to raise awareness wherever you are
Donor spotlights to tell your Raincoaster story
Behind-the-scenes updates from team members

Why give monthly?

You enable our team of scientists and conservationists to look ahead and tackle challenges in conservation. Reliable and ongoing support is crucial to continue protecting the health and longevity of some of North America’s oldest and most iconic wildlife and ecosystems, like the endangered Southern Resident killer whales and the threatened Coastal Douglas-fir ecosystem.

Fraser estuary connectivity

From 2016 to 2021, Raincoast completed a five-year restoration project to create openings in two man-made barriers that prevented the natural migration of juvenile salmon. Projects like these continue as part of our efforts to improve conditions for juvenile salmon and other wildlife that have negatively been affected due to development or industrialization.

Safeguarding Coastal Carnivores

Raincoast now controls the commercial hunting rights in six tenures, more than 56,000km² of the BC coast – an area larger than Vancouver Island or the entire country of Belgium. Through the acquisition of these tenures (started in 2005), we are able to protect all coastal carnivores that would be, otherwise, subject to commercial trophy hunting.

Give Killer Whales a Voice

2025 marks the first year of a collaborative project between Raincoast and Earth Species Project (ESP) to study the communication and coordination behaviors of killer whales using AI, focusing particularly on the impacts of underwater noise. The pilot was overwhelmingly successful, laying the foundation for continued research to inform future conservation policy and ethical discussions.
