Building a Just and Healthy Society

Strategic philanthropy - focused, sustained, results oriented - is the hallmark of The Sierra Club Foundation's approach to social and environmental change. 

Our goal is to end our reliance on dirty fossil fuels; reverse the social, economic, and environmental damage caused by global climate change; restore, connect, and protect healthy ecosystems so that wildlife and wilderness can thrive; and successfully transition to a clean, green, renewable energy economy that better serves people and nature. 

We will achieve this goal through partnerships with donors that align financial resources with strategically focused campaigns designed to build capacity in the environmental movement and engage a broad spectrum of allied organizations around shared values and goals. 

We invite you to join us in these efforts.
