About the Nature Conservancy of Canada

The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is Canada's leading national land conservation organization. We are a private, non-profit group that partners with corporate and individual landowners to achieve the direct protection of our most important natural treasures through property securement (donation, purchase, conservation agreement and the relinquishment of other legal interests in land) and long-term stewardship of our portfolio of properties.

Since 1962, NCC and our partners have helped to conserve more than 2 million acres (over 800,000 hectares) of ecologically significant land nationwide.

NCC works hard to ensure the best value for supporters’ dollars. Over the past five years we have spent less than 15 percent of donated funds on administration and fundraising. This means more than 85 cents of your dollar goes directly to the protection of Canada’s nature.

For more information on how NCC allocates its funds, our annual report is available as a downloadable PDF on our publications page.
