Quote:
"Canadians are incredibly generous during the holidays. The majority of our adoption kits are donated in the month of December. WWF's poll indicates that 83% of Canadians find the holidays too materialistic. We hope that more Canadians will consider charitable gifts as a meaningful giving option."
-Christina Topp, WWF-Canada VP, Marketing and Communications
WWF offers Canadians a symbolic adoption program. Canadians looking to give charitable gifts can choose from 22 different wildlife species, including a polar bear, an orang-utan and a panda. Each animal comes with an educational booklet about the species, as well as the knowledge that your gift contributes to WWF's critical conservation work in Canada.

Each adoption kit includes:
Adorable high-quality wildlife plush
A personalized adoption certificate identifying you as a gift giver
An informational species booklet featuring the conservation work that your gift helps support
A wildlife collector card
A $30 tax receipt (to gift giver)
A recycled gift bag

About the poll
Conducted between September 21-26 2011, a sample of 1,010 Canadians from Ipsos' online panel was interviewed online. A survey with an unweighted probability sample of this size and a 100% response rate would have an estimated margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, of what the results would have been had the entire population of adults in Canada been polled.
