About the Legacy Fund
for the Environment

Canards dans un lac

The Legacy Fund for the Environment is a Quebec environmental organization. We partner with citizens’ groups in pursuing legal actions to defend the environment. We fund legal actions (from demand letters to lawsuits) and the studies needed to succeed:

We can also fund other studies needed by citizens’ groups in their quest for environmental or biodiversity protection.

We are there to help you with our experience:

  • incorporate your non-profit organization;
  • find experienced lawyers;
  • find the experts you need, from our growing network.

Our projects

In addition to funding cases, the Legacy Fund is also involved in many projects aiming to promote awareness and create discussions surrounding innovative legal approaches to protect the environment. For example, the Legacy Fund has been working on a fiscal analysis project and is working with other actors on putting together a chair in environmental dispute resolution.
