Grand River Conservation Foundation

The Grand River and its tributaries support one million people. In the coming years, that population is predicted to increase dramatically. As we contemplate this growth, we must also consider the best way to maintain the balance between human prosperity and the health of our natural systems for the long-term sustainability of our people, wildlife, lands and most of all, our water.

Founded in 1965, the GRCF channels donations from individuals, foundations, groups and businesses to Grand River Conservation Authority projects. More than $6 million has been raised to educate kids about the outdoors, restore vital wetlands that cleanse our water, provide habitat that promotes wildlife diversity and offer opportunities for people to simply enjoy their natural world.

Vision

The Grand River watershed will be the finest example in Canada of water quality and conservation, recreation, habitat protection and community support for this precious resource.

More than 90 per cent of your GRCF contribution will directly support conservation. Since 2006, the foundation has adhered to Imagine Canada's Ethical Fundraising and Accountability Code. Our charitable registration number is 11894 6045 RR0001.
