Helping Wildlife Thrive in a Changing Arctic

Barren-ground caribou, beluga whales, bowhead whales, narwhals, polar bears and walruses are among the Arctic wildlife to benefit from high-quality research and stewardship through the WWF-Canada Arctic Species Conservation Fund. WWF-Canada relies on the best available information and the direct engagement of Indigenous peoples to advocate for policies and legislation that are effective for the conservation of Arctic wildlife. Through this fund, we seek projects that will achieve meaningful outcomes for the conservation of Arctic species and the people who depend on them.

The Foundation supports a wide range of environmental initiatives, with a primary focus on environmental education and green space programs.

Eligible projects include schoolyard greening, park revitalization, community gardens, park programming and citizen science initiatives.

SVP Vancouver is a group of private philanthropists looking for non-profits that want to benefit from our pioneering model of venture philanthropy.
