About

The Grand Canyon Trust is a leading nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to protecting the air, water, and wildlife of the Grand Canyon and Colorado Plateau since 1985. Operating across Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico, the organization safeguards fragile desert ecosystems, slickrock canyons, and forested mesas while championing the rights and traditional stewardship practices of Native peoples. Through advocacy, on-the-ground conservation efforts, and strategic partnerships with tribal communities, the Grand Canyon Trust works to combat threats like uranium mining, sustain the Colorado River, protect national monuments, and preserve the region's remarkable landscapes. The organization invests in rising leaders, supports Native communities in setting conservation priorities, and welcomes individuals to join their mission through volunteering, donations, and advocacy initiatives to keep the Grand Canyon grand for generations to come.
