SAIL Grant

Taking Action for Nature

What is the SAIL Grant – Taking Action for Nature?

Launched in 2026, the SAIL Grant – Taking Action for Nature supports projects that showcase and enhance nature. Following a first edition that funded a project in Quebec, the program expands in 2027 with two grants of up to $15,000 each, awarded respectively to one member of Conservation Ontario and one member of the Association des parcs régionaux du Québec (Parq).

Projects must contribute to one or more of the following objectives:

  • Promote biodiversity
  • Restore and conserve natural environments
  • Reduce the impacts of climate change
  • Educate and raise public awareness about nature
  • Improve public access to nature

Whether it’s controlling invasive species, reforesting disturbed areas, enhancing a woodlot, creating ecological corridors or developing hiking trails, many types of projects can be supported.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

  • Be a member of Conservation Ontario or the Association des parcs régionaux du Québec (Parq)

  • Carry out the project on its own territory, in a location accessible to the public
