About

A bequest or legacy gift to Sierra Club Canada Foundation is a very personal and profound demonstration of your commitment to making our environment healthier and safer. Your gift is a reflection of your deeply held values and beliefs for making the world a better place. Choosing to leave a bequest can be a special part of the legacy you leave behind.

The Sierra Club Canada Foundation empowers people to be leaders in protecting, restoring and enjoying healthy and safe ecosystems. We have five chapters: Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, Prairie, and a nationwide Youth Chapter. In our work:

  • We champion climate solutions and a rapid transition to clean energy.
  • We embrace social and environmental justice with democratic decision-making.
  • We recognize and uphold the Rights of Nature.
  • We believe in getting people outside to explore and enjoy the outdoors.
  • We support a circular economy and live within the Earth’s resources.

At its heart, Sierra Club Canada Foundation is a grassroots organization with a “think globally, act locally” philosophy. Members are encouraged to actively contribute to environmental causes that engage or inspire them, in a capacity that best suits their capabilities. We also help people take action to engage with leaders and other people in their community.

Working with a strong volunteer base and collaboratively with other organizations has allowed Sierra Club Canada Foundation to successfully engage in a range of environmental activities that directly benefit both people and the planet.

Our Impact

Sierra Club Canada Foundation has continued to punch above its weight—delivering real victories for nature, communities, and climate, despite operating with a small core team. Powered by our supporters, we’ve worked across chapters and coalitions to grow a future rooted in justice, biodiversity, and clean energy.

This year, thanks to our supporter’s generosity we have:

  • Won legal victories to protect endangered species and wetlands, including a major court ruling at Chalk River and permanent protection for Montreal’s Technoparc.
  • Grown grassroots energy democracy, with Atlantic communities shaping the future of offshore wind, pushing back against offshore oil drilling, and defending historic fracking bans.
  • Supported powerful storytelling, from climate survivor exhibits that helped push forward Canada’s emissions cap and defend climate policy in general, to podcasts and youth-led art that amplified new voices and bold ideas.
  • Expanded Wild Child programs, making nature education inclusive, joyful, and accessible for hundreds of children and families.
  • Planted hope across Canada, with nearly two million wildflower seeds already sent out as part of our campaign to restore pollinator habitats – and hopes that 8 million more will be planted this year.
  • Stood in solidarity with Indigenous land and water defenders, from the Bad River to Walpole Island.

How your gift will be used

Our success depends on the support of individuals and organizations whose generous gifts make our work possible.

Your donation to Sierra Club Canada helps us to support our chapters and programs. It helps us fight for the Rights of Nature and get kids outside and helps us rally against oil and gas projects and misinformation. It helps us to bring the environmental movement together, from the smallest organizations to international coalitions.
