Our Impact

Today, the McCall MacBain Foundation is pleased to announce a $10M investment in large scale conservation. In Canada, this investment will enable the work of @natureunitedcanada, who the Foundation has partnered with for seven years. The Foundation’s funding will support large-scale solutions and organizational growth, and will also leverage the global conservation network of @nature_org, in particular to foster collaboration and learning exchanges between Canada and Australia to advance Indigenous-led conservation and accelerate Natural Climate Solutions.

In the words of John McCall MacBain: “Climate change is the single biggest threat we face—not in the future, but today. We need leadership and action across all sectors. Our investment in Nature United will achieve large-scale results by bringing together science, community, corporate and philanthropic leadership. I personally hope that our partnership with Nature United inspires other leaders to support their approach in Canada and their global reach.”
