Pacific salmon are a “keystone species” in British Columbia – their homes stretch from mountain streams to the middle of the ocean. More than 130 species depend on salmon abundance for survival. The Pacific Salmon Foundation is an independent non-governmental organization that exists to guide the sustainable future of Pacific salmon and their habitat.

The Foundation supports community-based projects that address salmon conservation and habitat and watershed renewal. Since 1989, the Foundation has provided $8.8 million to 1,236 projects which was leveraged locally for total impact of $64 million. The Foundation also manages major projects in the Skeena and Fraser watersheds in partnership with industry, government, First Nations and other foundations. Through support of evidence-based science the Foundation seeks solutions for the complex challenges facing Pacific salmon. In Victoria and Ottawa, the Foundation serves as a voice for conservation of Pacific salmon and the ecosystems that depend on them for survival.
