A safety NET for our children's children.

Most funding for environmental organizations is private money, and consequently, reflects many different interests. By building the first public charitable foundation for the environment, independent of government and business, the NET is designed to directly meet the needs of Canadian environmental organizations.

How? The vision, structure and operations of the NET have been carefully built over the last 5 years, through talking to environmental groups all across the country. We have listened, and in response to their needs we built the NET. We enjoy the support of a majority of groups across the country, and have been helped by a high-profile Advisory Committee with representatives from across the country. Our operating principles include inclusivity, transparency, partnership, coordination and cooperation, diversity and walking our talk.
