Conservation Matters, More Than Ever

This Giving Tuesday, Tuesday, December 2nd, we’re inviting the Sunshine Coast community to join our mission to protect the forests, shorelines, and wildlife that make the Sunshine Coast so special.

Climate change is reshaping our region in real time: hotter, drier summers; stressed forests; warming streams; shifting bird migrations; and intensifying winter storms. These changes impact everything from salmon survival and intertidal habitat to the safety and resilience of our coastal communities.

There is good news: large scale planning and conservation work is underway in our region, and your support makes a difference!

The SCCA works with volunteers, students, experts, NGO partners, all levels of governments, and First Nations to deliver science-based, community-driven conservation programs that protect ecosystems and strengthens ecological resilience on the Sunshine Coast.

Why Giving Tuesday Matters

For many people, Giving Tuesday is a chance to support a cause that reflects their love of place and their hopes for the future.

For nonprofits like the SCCA, it’s an opportunity to:

  • Share the conservation work happening across the Coast
  • Highlight the climate-related challenges our ecosystems are facing
  • Bring our community together to support biodiversity and habitat protection
  • Grow the network of people who care about long-term ecological health

Whether you donate, volunteer, or simply share our message, you play a role in protecting the Coast.

Considering Becoming A Monthly Donor?

Sustaining a small nonprofit is challenging; grants are unpredictable, and conservation needs are growing.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re inviting supporters to consider becoming monthly donors. Even a small monthly gift has a meaningful impact on our ability to plan ahead, respond quickly to emerging issues, and maintain consistent conservation programs.

Monthly gifts help us protect:

  • At-risk species and their habitats
  • Old-growth forests and watershed health
  • Salmon-bearing streams and coastal shorelines
  • Community science programs
  • Public education and climate resilience initiatives

Where Your Support Goes

Your donations help SCCA continue important conservation work and support many groups across the region.

Thanks to community support, SCCA has worked tirelessly for nearly 30 years to protect:

  • Sensitive ecosystems
  • Drinking watersheds
  • Coastal and marine habitats
  • Forests at risk from drought, development, and climate change

We collaborate with regional partners, work with First Nations, engage at every level of government, and advocate for ecological integrity across the Sunshine Coast Natural Resource District and Átl’ḵa7tsem / Howe Sound.
