Our Partners
Partnership is at the heart of every conservation success. Our partners include communities, landowners, foundations, corporations, governments, universities, other conservation organizations and individuals. We are grateful to our partners who have been with us year after year, sharing our passion and vision for a natural Canada. Thank you for your support.
Funding partners
Many individuals, foundations, governments and organizations support our conservation work in Alberta. These partners provide vital funding that allows us to develop our innovative approach to conservation throughout the province.
Corporate partners
Corporations' support of our work is vital — from supporting priority stewardship work and volunteer activities, providing funding for property acquisitions, to marketing partnership — many of Alberta’s businesses help to ensure that our work continues year after year.

For over 50 years, NCC has pursued a non-confrontational and pragmatic approach to partnerships, grounded in leading conservation science.
