Organizations we funded

From 1995 through 2020, we invested in more than 500 organizations across the Northwest, far more than we can list here. We are deeply grateful for the vision, passion, and hard work of each of these groups. No one does this work alone, and we thank the boards, staffs, volunteers, and supporters who made this work possible. Explore below to learn more about some of the groups we funded.

Ecojustice Canada

Ecojustice is Canada's leading non-profit organization of lawyers and scientists devoted to protecting the environment. Founded in 1990 (as Sierra Legal Defence Fund), it has grown from a team of two to a national organization with offices in Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Calgary. Its current areas of focus include water quality and quantity; climate change and air quality; biodiversity; and land use issues.
