The world’s freshwater laboratory is dedicated to keeping our water— and the communities who depend on it—safe. But, to keep it running and help it grow over time, we need long-term financial sustainability.
That’s why we established the IISD Experimental Lakes Area Endowment Fund. Managed in perpetuity by The Winnipeg Foundation, this fund will provide a sustainable lifeline and a steady heartbeat for our one-of-a-kind natural laboratory.
Thanks to Gail Asper and Michael Paterson, every dollar you give will be matched—up to $1 million.
This is how we ensure the next generation of scientists and solutions don’t just get started—they have the stability and resources to thrive.
Tomorrow needs you today. Double your impact on the future of freshwater science.
