About Us
How We're Helping
The Canadian Shield Foundation was created in 1984 to assist organizations and individuals who aim to protect Canada's unique ecological region: the Canadian Shield. The Canadian Shield Foundation supports field research relating to the ecology (flora, fauna etc.) of the Precambrian Shield region of Canada. Practical and applied research projects relating to the challenges of resource use and non-sustainability of fossil fuels are also eligible for grant support depending on funds available. Grants may be available if you meet the eligibility requirements.
Goals of the Canadian Shield Foundation
- Protection of the flora and fauna of the vast Canadian Shield
- Encouragement of alternative energy research
- Support of climate change initiatives
- Promotion of a culture of environmental education
