15 Years of Conservation Finance in the Great Bear Rainforest and Haida Gwaii
2007-2022
Coast Funds is two separate organizations created to manage $118 million in
public and private funds for Indigenous-led conservation and economic
development in the Great Bear Rainforest and Haida Gwaii:
Coast Conservation Endowment Fund Foundation, a registered Canadian charity,
manages a $2-million regional conservation planning fund and a $56-million
conservation endowment fund, created with contributions from six private
foundations.
The Foundation also manages a $1.2-million stewardship endowment fund set up
with money contributed by First Nations.
Income generated from the two endowments provides ongoing support for First
Nations to develop and strengthen stewardship programs, Guardian Watchmen
efforts, and regional stewardship initiatives. Investment returns from the fund
are allocated to participating First Nations annually.
Coast Economic Development Society, a not-for-profit society, manages a
$60-million economic development fund, set up with contributions from the
Province of British Columbia and the Government of Canada, in support of First
Nation communities and businesses.
The capital in this fund is invested in business development initiatives,
targeting sectors with good potential to support sustainable development and
strengthen community wellbeing. The Society also works with partners to deliver
financing for community energy
planning and sustainable energy projects."
