Environment Funders Canada (formerly Canadian Environmental Grantmakers Network – CEGN)  is a national network of philanthropic foundations and other organizations that support efforts to transition toward a more sustainable world.  Our members work with non government organizations, community groups and other charitable organizations to develop and deliver programs that can make our communities healthier and more resilient, while protecting vital ecosystem services and the natural world.

Environment Funders Canada emphasizes shared learning through information exchange, personal development opportunities, best practice development, and all kinds of networking, including a great annual conference.  We use our conference, webinars and workshops, and research work to help our members increase their impact and effectiveness and to spur creative new approaches.

There has never been a more critical time for building a wave of change that can push us toward a more sustainable world.  And there has never been a more pressing need to increase the effectiveness of our efforts to build better approaches to everything from endangered species protection to urban development.

In the face of global challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss, we need a wide range of organizations pulling together to help build a healthier world and to protect invaluable planetary resources and services that provide us all with clean air, clean water, healthy food and a stable climate.

Recognizing that environmental problems are also often rooted in issues of equity, human rights and justice, we must take a broad view of the challenges ahead and work together to develop effective approaches that serve both people and the planet.
