Case Study: Alberta Ecotrust Foundation
"Suits and Roots" together funding environmental initiatives
In the early 1990s there was a surge in oil and gas development on the south eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. There was a general climate of antagonism between the non-profit and private sector as each sought to fulfill their apparently conflicting objectives. In spite of this climate, in 1991, individuals with the Pembina Institute and Petro-Canada collectively decided to create a space for corporations and environmental non-governmental organizations to come together to identify common ground, develop trust, build capacity and fund grassroots environmental projects in Alberta.
