Support this work
Our work 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.
Together, we can make a difference
From floods to forest fires and rising heat, we’ve seen the undeniable impact of climate change. But together, we have the power to turn these challenges into opportunities for meaningful action and lasting solutions.
We know how vital environmental work is in enhancing the well-being of communities everywhere.
That’s why we believe investing in the environment is investing in a healthier, more resilient future for everyone.
For over 30 years, we’ve been bringing people together and fostering partnerships that protect our ecosystems and build strong, vibrant communities.
As a trusted charity, we proudly turn donations into real, meaningful change across Alberta’s environmental and social landscape.
When we work together, the challenges we face become opportunities for growth and innovation.
We collaborate across boundaries to mobilize and inspire everyone dedicated to championing the environment. We’re inviting Albertans like you, who share our vision for integrated and collaborative solutions, to join us in this mission.
Your support will help us continue to expand our grants and initiatives, ensuring a sustainable and just future for all Albertans.
Start Donating Today
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.
Donate to the Home Upgrades Program and double your impact
One in five families in Calgary struggle to heat their homes and pay their energy bills. To help these families, the Home Upgrades Program, a partnership between Alberta Ecotrust and Kambo Energy Group, provides free energy efficiency upgrades and education. So far, 105 Calgary households have benefited from the program, but the demand for support far exceeds our current capacity.
With your support, we could provide essential upgrades such as insulation and high-efficiency furnaces to help at least 100 additional families. Donate today to help families thrive in safer, comfortable and more affordable homes.
Donations made by December 31, 2024 via Crowdfunding Alberta will be matched up to $5,000.
