THE SCHAD FOUNDATION

The Schad Foundation is a private Canadian family foundation founded in 1987. We work to build a healthy future for people and nature through grants supporting environmental education, biodiversity conservation, and access to nutrition,... We believe that people will be motivated to protect the environment when they recognize the extent to which they are dependent upon nature. For this reason, one of our key focal points is youth environmental education. Our work in this area is dedicated exclusively to Earth Rangers, a national youth conservation organization... Education, however, can be a slow process. It can take generations for people to change their values and alter their behaviour. We therefore complement our education efforts by supporting projects that have a direct and measurable impact on biodiversity restoration, protection and conservation.
