The National Environmental Treasure
 

NET image

is a people's trust fund devoted to the exclusive funding of Canadian environmental organizations, to increase their core capacity in critical areas such as environmental education, public communications, research and key operations. We are particularly interested in supporting the under-funded smaller and medium-sized organizations, working in local communities and regions. Our goal is to build a 30 million dollar public charitable foundation for the environment - the equivalent of every Canadian donating a "loonie" for their environment.

Meaningful and lasting change happens through many small steps taken by individuals. Take a step and make a difference today.

All Canadians benefit from the NET's activities by ensuring the long-term ability of environmental organizations to continue their critical work in raising awareness and educating Canadians about the need to protect their environmental legacy.

Direct benefits include:

  • strengthening the environmental movement;
  • maintaining and creating jobs and expertise, especially local expertise, in the environmental sector, with the support of the NET;
  • partnering with a diversity of groups directly in local campaigns, who gain invaluable fundraising and organizational experience as well as exposure, both locally and nationally;
  • building the capacity of community ENGOs immediately by their receiving an immediate 50% of campaign proceeds;
  • increasing general awareness for Earth Day and Environment Week;
  • having individual Canadians realize that the power of many small meaningful actions can lead to significant change collectively, through building the trust fund loonie by loonie.

    Please note:

    The NET is currently building its trust fund and is not yet in a position to disburse funding.
