Founded in 1960, The Sierra Club Foundation is a 501

(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity governed by an independent board of directors. The Foundation promotes efforts to educate and empower people to protect and improve the natural and human environment. Our goals are to:
• Solve the climate crisis primarily through a successful transition to a resource-efficient clean energy economy that better serves people and nature;
• Secure protections for public lands and waters, promote healthy ecosystems and communities, and fight for clean air and water;
• Expand opportunities for more people to explore, enjoy, and protect the planet by supporting programs and policies that reach across economic, cultural, and community lines to get people outdoors; and
• Build a diverse, inclusive environmental movement that reflects and represents today’s American public, and prioritizes important connections between environmental health and social justice. As the fiscal sponsor of the charitable programs of the Sierra Club, we provide resources to it and other nonprofit organizations to support scientific, educational, literary, organizing, advocacy, and legal programs that further our goals.

Since 1964, the Wilderness Act has been safeguarding these iconic and essential natural landscapes. Today, more than 110 million acres of public lands across the country are designated as Wilderness Areas, with another 125+ million acres identified as qualifying for future protecton.

Help us to continue speaking out to ensure wilderness is not industrialized, commercialized, or privatized - just as those who fought for these protections in the first place.

Sierra Club and our partners are taking Trump to court for illegally decimating Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments in southern Utah. His unlawful proclamations reduced the monument boundaries by more than 90%. We are seeking to renew litigation against Trump’s 2017 monument rollbacks and challenge both sets of illegal proclamations together.

Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante are irreplaceable. They protect sacred Tribal cultural landscapes, incredible wildlife habitat, world-renowned recreation, clean water, and scientific discoveries like dinosaur fossils found nowhere else on Earth. The Antiquities Act gives presidents the authority to protect these places, not dismantle them for mining, drilling, and other industrial interests.

Here are four ways clean energy set new records this spring—and what these feats tell us about where the energy system is headed. While records reflect momentary successes amid ideal conditions, they’re worth noting because they push the boundaries of what’s possible, and lay the groundwork for similar success across broader swaths of the year.

Time in nature can change us. It can reconnect us to each other, deepen our love for the places we share, and inspire us to protect them.

Here’s to 125 years of exploring, enjoying, and protecting the outdoors – and to the next 125.

Register for our upcoming live screening of “Vs. Goliath: Greater Chaco” on September 1 via sc.org/Sept1

This films brings the audience to the sacred Greater Chaco region of New Mexico, ancestral homeland of the Pueblo and Diné peoples' fight & siege from a relentless surge of oil and gas extraction. After a life-changing call to Standing Rock, young Sandia Pueblo leader Julia Bernal returns home to confront the same forces threatening her own community. Uniting with Diné elder Daniel Tso and an intergenerational coalition, they lead a powerful fight to defend tribal sovereignty and protect Chaco for future generations.

For 110 years, the National Park Service has helped protect the places that inspire us, connect us, and tell the story of our nation.

From towering mountains and ancient forests to historic landmarks and neighborhood parks, these public lands are shared by all of us. They are places to explore, learn, reflect, and build lifelong connections with the outdoors. But they are increasingly under threat.

Since early 2025, the Trump administration has fired thousands of rangers, educators, scientists, and caretakers, cut or delayed funding, and advanced destructive projects across national parks and other public lands.

As we conclude , but continue to uplift the work done by the National Park Service, it's more important than ever to speak up to ensure our parks are protected, accessible, and welcoming for everyone, today and for generations to come.
