membership


It's LWF's birthday and everyone's invited!

To celebrate our 20th anniversary, we’re offering $20 memberships! From June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026, you can renew your membership – or sign up your friends and family – for just $20. LWF members provide vital financial support for our work and strengthen our collective advocacy for a healthy Lake Winnipeg. When many voices speak up together, our impact surges. That’s why LWF has set the ambitious goal of growing to 10,000 members!

more information for members

What does my donation support?

Your donation funds evidence-based advocacy and action to reduce the algal blooms that plague Lake Winnipeg. In fact, donations from members like you are the only source of funding for LWF’s advocacy activities, as the grants we receive cannot be used for advocacy. Your support is vital in transforming science into solutions!

How does my membership protect Lake Winnipeg?

To reduce algal blooms on Lake Winnipeg, we need stronger environmental policies. And policy change is driven by public pressure – regular people must take up the cause, together! When you join LWF, our numbers swell, our collective influence grows, and our mandate becomes increasingly impossible for policymakers to ignore.

What's my membership status?

If you have any questions about your membership, contact LWF's Membership & Events Coordinator, Mackenzie, at mackenzie@lakewinnipegfoundation.org.
