First off, thank you for your amazing contribution to Planet Wild and for believing in our mission to rewild this planet. Your ongoing support has helped us accomplish so much already, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
I’m writing to share that, starting March 1st 2025, we’ll be adjusting our service fee from 9% to 15%. The fee goes towards our operational costs—things like compensating our staff, paying freelancers, and keeping the lights on—so we can stay focused on what matters most: supporting frontline rewilding initiatives around the globe. Nothing will change for you, though—every member will still be contributing the same amount.
You might be wondering why we’re making this change. Even with the fantastic community growth we’ve seen throughout 2024, our membership fees alone still aren’t enough to fully finance the team. To ensure Planet Wild can continue to grow and help rewild our planet for the long haul, we need to become financially self-sustaining—and this fee increase will help us get closer to that goal.
This decision comes after an open conversation with our members on Discord, where we received encouraging feedback from the community, emphasizing how crucial it is for Planet Wild to have a strong foundation in order to maintain and scale our rewilding efforts.
Thank you for your continued trust and for being part of this journey with us. Together, we’re making a real difference for our planet’s wild places, and I can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish next.
Best,
Markus Gilles
Co-Founder Planet Wild
