DONATIONS
PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TO THE WATERTON GLACIER PEACE PARK ASSOCIATION (WGIPPA)
Our efforts to support Peace, Conservation, Indigenous Culture, and History requires significant resources that are not sustainable through Rotary District Membership Fees. To sustain our ongoing efforts, we are encouraging member Rotarians and interested parties to donate through one time, monthly, or yearly contributions to the various funds supported by the Association.
General donations are made to support the operations of the association in any manner deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors. Restricted donations are made to support specific projects and will only be used to support these projects.
DONATE
Donations to this fund are intended to support the core themes, mission, and day-to-day operations of the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park Association
The peace pole at Glacier Park Lodge is a monument to peace and a reminder of the diverse cultures and communities connected to Glacier National Park.
The existing pole needs to be corrected to ensure that the cultures represented are appropriately recognized and that the message “May Peace Prevail on Earth” is accurately translated in each language.
Because the pole is made of granite, altering the existing engravings is extremely difficult. After exploring possible repair options with industry experts, we determined that replacing the pole is the only suitable and lasting solution.
Your donation will help us purchase, correctly engrave, and install a new peace pole.
