Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The Sierra Fund (TSF) is a non-profit community organization providing philanthropic stewardship and charitable services, as well as scientific research including data collection and analysis, to support environmentally healthy communities and restore ecosystem resiliency in the Sierra Nevada region. TSF partners with private donors, foundations, and public agencies to increase investment in the land, water, and human resources of the Sierra Nevada.

The Sierra Fund mission is to restore ecosystem and community resiliency in the Sierra Nevada. We rely on the principles of science, stewardship, environmental justice, and policy advocacy to promote headwater resiliency for the environment and communities impacted by the California Gold Rush. We identify, articulate, assess and implement ways to address these lasting impacts as demonstrated in the body of work that we have developed since our founding in 2001.

IRS990/Desc0Celebrated The Sierra Funds 20th Anniversary: The Sierra Fund celebrated an impressive track record! Over 20 years, the organization attracted over $100 million in public and private investments; was a critical leader in helping to establish the Sierra Nevada Conservancy, which has to date leveraged over $120 million in state funding; won a moratorium on suction dredge mining, a practice that pollutes our rivers and streams; and advanced policies and reforms that better protect our health and environment from past minings toxic legacy. An evening reception in Sacramento on April 6 appreciated all donors, legislative partners, fellow conservation leaders, and supporters who made this possible, and The Sierra Fund honored retired CEO, Izzy Martin, with a golden pinecone award.Developed New Approach to Address Wildfire and Mine Remediation: The Sierra Fund is creating an innovative new approach to restore hydraulic mine sites, reduce fuel load to address wildfires, store carbon, and prevent mercury runoff. Currently, fuel load reduction projects avoid thousands of acres of hydraulic mine-impacted areas in the Sierra because of the difficulties assessing these historically impacted sites. The Sierra Fund, in 2022, partnered with Tahoe National Forest to integrate hydraulic mine remediation into fuel load reduction for wildfire protection, piloting a new approach at the Grizzly Creek Mine site. Staff designed and conducted applied research using biochar a filter-like charcoal product made from small-diameter trees. The Sierra Fund completed the installation of test plots and conducted rainfall simulations to quantify how effective biochar is at trapping and storing sediment, including particulate-bound mercury, that would otherwise flow off of mine sites during storm events into downstream water sources. This approach also restores soil health and captures carbon and is cost-effective to do in tandem with the fuel load reduction work. Partnered with Tribes to Advance Priority Projects: The Sierra Fund partnered with Tribes on some of their priority projects on their ancestral homelands. In prior years The Sierra Fund had a series of listening sessions and this year The Sierra Fund focused on advancing projects that our Tribal partners requested our time and effort on for fundraising or project design. The Sierra Fund continued design and permitting work on the Tribute Trail with our partner California Heritage: Indigenous Research Project (Nisenan) and have hopes to celebrate completion in 2023. The Sierra Fund wrote grants and secured half a million in funding this year for the California Heritage: Indigenous Research Project and the Colfax Todds Valley Consolidated Tribe for water access improvements and cultural activities, including fuels reduction and native plant propagation.Trained Restoration Leaders in Nature-Based Solutions to Meadow Restoration: The Sierra Fund is leading efforts to train up restoration practitioners in best practices for restoring degraded meadows. Meadows are critical natural areas that, when healthy, help retain water longer into the season and benefit many species. Meadows can even help slow fires, giving firefighters a better chance of protecting a community (as evidenced in 2021 near Markleeville). Finally, healthy meadows store more carbon per acre than forests important as we work to avoid catastrophic climate change. In 2022, The Sierra Fund was the lead organizer for two region-wide meadow restoration-related training opportunities. The Sierra Fund organized two three-day Sierra Meadows Wetland & Riparian Area Monitoring Plan Protocols field trainings (one in Yosemite) and co-convened the first-of-its-kind training on process-based restoration with over 50 tribal members, conservationists, and students attending. One fun element of our nature-based approach is training others on how to install beaver dam analogs (man-made beaver dams) to rewet meadows and restore healthy meadow function. True s
