Thoughts by Izzy Martin, CEO, The Sierra Fund

December 19, 2011

Cleaning off my desk to prepare for holiday time off and a new year is a bit like an archeological dig.  Dredging through the reports, magazines, letters and files I find lots of evidence of activity in the Sierra Nevada and the larger world – but what has been the impact of this work?  Especially, what has The Sierra Fund’s impact been on the ground?

Over the last year there have been real improvements in the quality of our place because of our work:

TSF 10th Anniversary

The Sierra Fund is the only nonprofit community foundation dedicated to the Sierra Nevada. Our mission is to increase and organize investment in the region's natural resources and communities.

We pursue this mission three ways: through Advocacy to bring public funding to the region, Philanthropy to provide a vehicle for private funding, and Strategic Campaigns that pursue critically needed programs in the Sierra.
