The pacific salmon foundation was established in 1987 as an independent, non- governmental, charitable organization to protect, conserve and restore wild Pacific salmon populations in British Columbia and the Yukon. Today, the Foundation galvanizes the breadth of vested stakeholders to support Pacific salmon from stream to estuary to ocean. The Foundation: • Raises money and makes grants to volunteer community groups that conserve and restore streams across the province. • Manages watershed initiatives in British Columbia that catalyze industry, First Nations, provincial and federal governments, and other non-profits. • Advances science to improve the understanding of factors that limit the abundance of Pacific salmon. • Works with government to prioritize and facilitate strategic salmon conservation in the province.

Naden Lodge in Haida Gwaii stepped up in 2014 by opting to double the recommended $25 guest conservation contribution as part of the Pacific Salmon Foundation's Recreational Fishing Partnership Program. This year the lodge raised $13,650 through conservation contributions and personal donations. Vancouver-based mining company Silver Wheaton recently made a generous donation of $10,000 to help support the Foundation's Salish Sea Marine Survival Project. The company opted to support the Foundation after attending one of our "lunch and learn" sessions in Vancouver.
