 How TiME works

Biodiversity hotspots around the world are threatened by human activity and habitat loss.

TiME directs 100% of the money you donate to purchase and protect land in Earth’s most biologically diverse areas.

When you become a member (for as little as US$1!), you can vote to decide which conservation project will receive TiME’s funds. Each donor receives a single vote to nominate their preferred conservation project. At the end of the year, we allocate the sum of donations according to the relative number of votes each project earned.
