In 2003-2004, the David Suzuki Foundation used the following methods (these are Canada Revenue Agency categories) for fundraising:

• advertisements/posters/flyers/radio or TV commercials
• fundraising dinners, galas, concerts
• mail campaigns
• planned-giving program

David Suzuki is well known in Canada as an environmentalist and as the host of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's TV program The Nature of Things. He can bring exposure to the Foundation through his public appearances and interviews, and the website itself is a draw for potential supporters and donors.
