Fundraise at University

Right now, our world needs our help like never before. With nature in freefall, we’re urgently tackling the underlying causes that are driving the decline – especially the food system and climate change. And we’re finding solutions so future generations have a world with thriving habitats and wildlife. 

It’s a huge challenge, but there is hope. Through our global network we’re working with governments, companies, communities and others who have the will to act and the power to transform our world. We’re using our ground-breaking scientific research, our global influence, 
and the backing of our many supporters to make sure the natural world’s vital signs are recovering by 2030. 

Today’s young people will be the stewards of our planet in the years to come. If you’re at university, you care about the natural world and want to help us create a brighter future for generations to come, we are calling on you to help us bring our world back to life.  

There are a number of ways that you can support WWF and help us restore the natural world. Whether you’re a RAG, a Student Union, society, sports team or an individual who wants to take action, we’re here to support you with all your fundraising.
