Frequently Asked Questions

Unfortunately, we are unable to endorse or fund specific products and companies that we aren't directly involved with. We do not have the financial resources or staff capacity to do the required research for each of the many requests for endorsement we receive. We do not offer funds for tuition or studies.

Currently, we do not have the staff capacity to accommodate the majority of speaking and event requests we receive. The Foundation is working toward building this capacity, and hopes to have a program in the near future. If you are looking for a speaker specifically for your workplace in Vancouver or Toronto, check out our David Suzuki at Work Program.

Other great resources:

• Climate Project Canada, a network of presenters (including Foundation staff members) on climate change located across Canada that have been trained by Al Gore himself.
• The Natural Step
• Environmental Youth Alliance, a youth-driven agency who focus on engaging youth in the environment.

This is not our expertise, but here are a few suggestions: find out what types of programs different universities offer. The areas of conservation and the environment are massive, and range from engineering, technical studies, and wildlife protection to campaigning, law, and policy. A good start is ECO Canada.

Foundation grants make up over 42% of our revenue, with about 3% noted as 'other' (events, etc).
