2015 - The Sierra Club Foundation
SIERRA CLUB FOUNDATION > ANNUAL REPORT 2015 A Pivotal Moment We are fortunate participants in a defining chapter of global history. Around the world, attitudes are shifting and efforts aligning into a cohesive conviction capable of advancing tremendous change. Possibilities become probabilities, ever more likely to thrive and flourish. iv SIERRA CLUB FOUNDATION > ANNUAL REPORT 2015 As the balance tips, acceleration inevitably occurs and instead of “Can we do it?” the question becomes “How far and how fast will we go?” Together we’ve been laying the groundwork for many years, and 2015 was the pivotal moment. v Sierra Club Foundation Our mission is to promote efforts to educate and empower people to protect and improve the natural and human environment. The Sierra Club Foundation bridges the intersection of strategic philanthropy and grassroots advocacy. Founded in 1960, we are a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity governed by an independent board of directors. We achieve our shared vision of a healthy planet through collaboration with the Sierra Club, our donors, and stakeholders. We embrace integrity through ethics, excellence, and transparency to ensure the trust of our donors and partners. We demonstrate stewardship in all we do through careful development and management of resources and responsible oversight of sponsored programs. table of contents 3 10 Executive Letter Investing for Environmental & Social Change Leading on Climate 4 6 Advancing Conservation Building a Movement 8 Grants Paid 12 14 Financial Statements Board of Directors & Foundation Staff 16 SIERRA CLUB FOUNDATION > ANNUAL REPORT 2015 how far and how fast? It happened in 2015. What seemed implausible just a few years ago has become inevitable. We are now clearly on the path of addressing the worst consequences of the climate crisis and transitioning the world to a low-carbon future! With consistent support and prodding from the Sierra Club, President Obama cemented his environmental legacy by rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline, protecting the Arctic from oil drilling, announcing the final Clean Power Plan, and declaring six new national monuments that preserve more than a million acres. During the historic climate conference in Paris, with pressure from the Sierra Club and its global partners, world leaders from 200 nations reached a watershed agreement to pursue meaningful efforts to limit global warming. Of course, none of this progress happened overnight. We’ve spent years building the foundation for these inspiring victories. Strategic investments in campaigns like Beyond Coal, Our Wild America, and the Forward Fund spurred the growth of a powerful grassroots movement that has relentlessly fought for conservation, clean air, and climate solutions, and permitted the U.S. to provide essential leadership for bold action around the globe. As encouraging as this momentum is, there still is much work to do. Science tells us we have to go further and faster. Our objective now is to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy as quickly as possible, and to do so in a just, fair, and inclusive way. Your contributions made a significant impact in 2015. They were critical to the success we achieved and the progress we made. We hope we can count on your continued support in 2016 and beyond as together we work to protect and improve the natural and human environment. Thank you!

Sierra Club’s #ActInParis campaign appeared 500+ million How long attorneys from Sierra Club’s Environmental Law Program have been involved in Keystone XL legal proceedings Keystone XL Rejected When the U.S. State Department officially declared the Keystone XL pipeline would not serve our national interest, and our president agreed, it signaled to the world we are serious about solving the climate crisis heading into the Paris negotiations (COP21). times on the social media feeds After more than a decade of legal battles and community organizing, Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal Campaign passed the milestone of 200 coal plants announced to retire, creating marketspace for the biggestever investment in solar and wind technology. Our work to replace retired coal power with clean energy and efficiency added enough renewable energy to the grid to power 3.6 million homes 4 of people around the world 200 Coal Plants Give Way to Clean Energy Finally, All-in on Climate! The Paris climate talks yielded the first long-term international commitment to dealing with climate disruption. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said the negotiations were the “most complicated, most difficult, but, most important for humanity.” SIERRA CLUB FOUNDATION > ANNUAL REPORT 2015 Investments in the Future In one of the biggest David vs. Goliath stories to date, we turned initial small investments in a Midwest legal strategy into 200 coal-fighting staff and tens of thousands of volunteers, stopping planned coal expansion in its tracks (183 plants never built, and counting). Forward-thinking philanthropists joined us, putting close to $30 million on the line to force a multi-billion dollar “manage our oil and coal resources, so that I’m going to push to change the way we coal industry into retirement (200 plants gone, and they better reflect the costs they impose on counting). That taxpayers and our planet. momentum pushed “ President Obama, 2016 State of the Union Address us to the gates of the White House, and to the streets of Detroit and New Orleans, building a public call for clean energy solutions. In California—where we secured a commitment from Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti to build the largest urban rooftop solar program in the nation—we heard news resonate all the way to Paris, as the state joined other UN countries in committing to only zero-emission vehicles by 2050. 5 adva Investments in the Future The Sierra Club has been working in coalition with environmental groups and Native communities in Alaska and America’s Arctic for more than three decades. During that time, with the ultimate goal of protecting the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (a critical calving ground for the Porcupine Caribou herd) as a national monument, we’ve funded key efforts to prevent oil drilling in sensitive areas and stop oil and coal company roads to nowhere. Thanks to the work of the Club and its allies—bringing Inuit representatives to Washington, DC, to have their voices heard and organizing local communities and national interests to build a groundswell of support—President Obama showed conviction in 2015 Canyon is significant to people across “manyBrowns cultures and communities. Protecting these public lands will strengthen the diverse social “ fabric of the region. Maite Arce, President and CEO of Hispanic Access Foundation and set the stage for landscape-sized monuments and further efforts to keep fossil fuels in the ground in his final year in office. This is long-range, capacity-building, grassroots organizing at its best, and a clear example of how investments in this strategy pay off. 6 Sierra Club organized 30 #ShellNo and Arctic Day of Action events across the country SIERRA CLUB FOUNDATION > ANNUAL REPORT 2015 ancing conservation 200,000 Sierra Club members and supporters submitted comments asking the Obama administration to enforce Illegal Logging Meets the Lacey Act the Lacey Act Arctic Off-limits to Oil Drilling A Club-led coalition used the Lacey Act, which contains the world’s first trade ban on illegally sourced wood products, to protect some of the most threatened tiger habitat on the planet and help stop deforestation in the Russian Far East. The U.S. Department of the Interior cancelled all remaining Arctic offshore lease sales through 2017, just as Shell Oil abandoned exploration activity in offshore Alaska for the foreseeable future. The news is a hard-won victory for the fragile Arctic environment, local communities, and our new clean energy economy. Sierra Club and coalition partners turned out 1,200+ New National Monuments, More to Come In 2015, President Obama built on his legacy of public lands, upping his total to more than 2 million acres protected, including Browns Canyon in Colorado. In early 2016, that number nearly doubled with the addition of 1.8 million acres of Southern California desert, and more (we hope!) to come. people at public hearings nationwide, demonstrating broad support for protecting special landscapes 7 building a moveme 67 Latino media outlets 265,000 with a reach of 10+ million shared programming about Pope Francis’ encyclical based on Sierra Club’s Spanishlanguage materials Pope Puts Faith in the Environment With Laudato Si, his groundbreaking encyclical on the environment demanding strong moral action on climate change, Pope Francis galvanized people of many faiths, leading to unprecedented global support for a climate and clean energy agreement in Paris. people experienced the healing Communities Enlisted in the Clean Power Plan power of the outdoors through The CPP is the most significant action any president has taken to tackle pollution and climate change. It was an historic moment and a big step towards improving the quality of life for low-income neighborhoods and communities of color, which have borne the brunt of power plant pollution for decades. Sierra Club partnered with 30+ Sierra Club outings in 2015 Healing in the Great Outdoors Our public lands could be our nation’s biggest health and wellness resource. The Sierra Club and University of California, Berkeley teamed up on a 3-year study to document the physiological effects of being outdoors and give policymakers data to protect places and get underserved populations out into nature. allies to lift up voices of environmental and economic justice throughout the CPP implementation process 8 SIERRA CLUB FOUNDATION > ANNUAL REPORT 2015 nt Investments in the Future State Implementation Plans (SIPs) for the president’s Clean Power Plan must contribute to equity and justice. In 2015, we funded the “Climate Works for All” process led by ALIGN (the Alliance for a Greater New York, an affiliate of the BlueGreen Alliance, Partnership for Working Families, and Jobs with Justice). This important process leverages Often, those most impacted by “environmental oppression are without a New York City Mayor DeBlasio’s announcement of voice in the process.

This same kind of community partnership-building with faith-based groups over the past decade has helped grow awareness and trust between nontraditional climate allies, further spurred by Pope Francis’ teaching on climate culpability. As nature’s healing powers become more easily accessible to all, disadvantaged youth, veterans, and others who need it most can become the next generation of environmentalists. 9 investing for enviro When people think of the Sierra Club Foundation, what usually comes to mind is our funding of grassroots efforts to protect treasured wildlands and move the planet beyond fossil fuels. But there’s another important facet of our strategy to protect the planet—our investments. partners are shutting down Just as we argued in the 1980s that those who “conducted business with apartheid South Africa coal-fired power plants or were aiding and abetting an immoral system, sharing the healing power we can say that nobody should profit from the While the Sierra Club and its of nature, we’re teaming up with scores of allied investors to identify and advance renewables and other technologies to bring critical climate solutions to scale. rising temperatures, seas, and human suffering “ caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Archbishop Desmond Tutu At the same time, we’re committed to making sure the next energy economy is as inclusive as possible—more fair than the one it replaces, so that all people benefit, not just a few industries or individuals. It means good local jobs and affordable clean energy. It also means air and water that are safe and healthy, no matter what your zip code is. Both our grantmaking approach as well as our social and environmental justice screens of potential investments support these values. 10 Divest-Invest Philanthropy Initiative In 2014, as a founding member of this initiative, we joined 16 foundations with a little more than one billion dollars in total assets under management. Today, 436 institutions and 2,040 individuals across 43 countries—representing $2.6 trillion in assets—have committed to divest from fossil fuel companies. SIERRA CLUB FOUNDATION > ANNUAL REPORT 2015 nmental & social change As part of the White House Clean Energy Investment Summit, we committed 20% of our endowment to invest in climate solutions Investor Network on Climate Risk (INCR) Our participation in INCR—whose mission is to mobilize leaders to address climate risks, while building low-carbon investment opportunities—reflects our belief that our fiduciary duty is not limited to the oversight and investment of donated funds. Rather, it includes a responsibility to manage those funds in a manner consistent with our mission and values. 11 grants paid CLEAN ENERGY SOLUTIONS OUR WILD AMERICA Bringing together national and local conservation efforts to end mining and drilling of fossil fuels on public lands, secure land protections, connect communities with nearby nature, and protect and restore wild forests Scaling clean, renewable energy solutions in the power and transportation sectors and building widespread public support for a clean energy economy BEYOND COAL CAMPAIGN $ 3,330,859 Preventing construction of new coal-fired power plants; retiring existing plants; promoting clean energy alternatives $ 26,351,587 NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM $ 6,411,439 SIERRA STUDENT COALITION Training and empowering students to achieve tangible social and environmental progress by organizing grassroots campaigns that develop the next generation of environmental leaders Educating the public about issues relating to protection of the natural and human environment $ 174,410 $ 384,031 SIERRA CLUB OUTDOORS Reaching across economic lines, cultures, and communities to engage all Americans–including military and youth–to explore, enjoy, and protect the natural world LABOR PROGRAM Ensuring that the clean energy economy supports the health and livelihoods of working families $ 458,191 $ 964,680 ENVIRONMENTAL LAW PROGRAM Providing legal strategy for Sierra Club’s priority campaigns as well as state-level chapters CHAPTER AND GROUP EDUCATION PROGRAM Supporting Sierra Club chapters and groups working at the local, state, and regional levels to educate the public about issues relating to protection of the natural and human environment $ 5,192,982 12 ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE & COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS Providing support to low-income communities and communities of color when requested; ensuring all people have a voice in decisions that affect their community; bridging the gap between these communities and environmentalists $ 447,045 $ 1,345,281 SIERRA CLUB FOUNDATION > ANNUAL REPORT 2015 In 2015, we made grants totaling $54,164,581 GRANTS TO NONSIERRA CLUB ORGANI- ZATIONS: DOMESTIC SIERRA MAGAZINE Supporting the charitable content of Sierra magazine $ 1,701,122 OTHER PROGRAMS Supporting a variety of environmental programs not otherwise included in categories listed here $ 3,543,504 Supporting partner organizations working to advance clean energy solutions, including community participation in policy formulation; supporting outdoor trails projects with a focus on connecting people with nature, particularly in urban areas $ 235,000 GRANTS TO NON-SIERRA CLUB ORGANIZATIONS: INTERNATIONAL Protecting the environment and preserving natural resources for future generations by advancing reproductive health and sustainable development initiatives $ 392,317 Supporting partner organizations in other countries that confront coal pollution and climate change; supporting efforts to protect wild tiger habitat, including against fossil fuel infrastructure development $ 494,279 INTERNATIONAL COAL AND CLIMATE PROGRAMS GLOBAL POPULATION AND ENVIRONMENT Our Methods: We partner with individual and institutional donors to align financial resources with strategic, measurable outcomes; provide flexible funding for innovation; build capacity in the environmental movement; and create partnerships with a broad spectrum of allied organizations around shared values and goals.
