Sierra Club Canada Foundation and its Mission

Sierra Club Canada Foundation is a Canada Revenue Agency registered charity whose mission is to advance the preservation and protection of the natural environment in Canada and across the globe. Since 1972, the Sierra Club Canada Foundation has funded tens of millions of dollars’ worth of important work, from small local projects, to large, multi-year campaigns with tens of volunteers, organizers, and scientists.

We are funded by individual donors, local grassroots organizers, foundations and others who recognize that we all have a right to a safe and healthy environment: clean air, clean water, open space, wild lands and a healthy and diverse ecosystem.
