Support this work
Help us create an Alberta where people and nature thrive.
Our work at Alberta Ecotrust Foundation (Alberta Ecotrust) would not be possible without the support of our incredible donors and community.
Funds raised are used to maintain and expand our grants and initiatives while ensuring an equitable and just future for all Albertans.
Your support helps us recognize critical gaps, mobilize resources, invest in communities and create lasting solutions to environmental challenges.
Across Alberta, we’re turning the rising impacts of climate change—like floods, wildfires, and extreme heat—into opportunities for resilience, collaboration, and action.
For over 30 years, we’ve been building partnerships that protect ecosystems and support healthier, more vibrant communities. By investing in this work, you’re investing in a just and sustainable future for all Albertans.
Together, we can realize our shared vision—and turn bold ideas into real change.
Our commitment to donors
We are committed to being efficient and responsible stewards of your contribution. Alberta Ecotrust Foundation is planning to raise an estimated amount of $1.6M in 2025-2026 from fundraising efforts. It will cost our organization an estimated $525K to raise this (4% of our organization’s budget). The money raised will be going to support our programs and projects to protect the environment.
Support us
Donate as often as you’d like, whether that is once, monthly or annually, your contribution is still valuable.
We encourage you to sign up for monthly donations because it is more affordable, convenient, and consistent. Plus, monthly donations give us more stability, which helps us have an even bigger impact in your community.
Together, we’ll turn brilliant ideas into positive community projects that solve multiple challenges at once.
