ANNUAL REPORT 2014 > THE SIERRA CLUB FOUNDATION
This is big news >This is big news! This is our window. Through it we can see how our efforts to replace dirty fuels with clean energy and energy efficiency have made a difference.
Pause and consider… less than a decade ago, plans to build 150 new coal plants were all but certain. So were plans to move millions of barrels of tar sands oil across the country. There was little hope for curbing CO2 emissions, even in the face of runaway global warming.
Today, coal is declining, the Keystone XL pipeline is stalled, and global CO2 emissions are flat1. The promise of a clean energy future is finally here.
It’s happening across the country and was visible in the streets of New York City, where the People’s Climate March drew record participants. Solar and wind are cost competitive. Energy efficiency is working and creating jobs.
All people, communities, businesses, animals, plants, and ecosystems stand to benefit from climate-resilient, low-carbon economies. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon summed it up perfectly when he said, “Governments and the private sector are uniting behind the message that there is no competition between economic growth, business success, and fighting climate change.”
Investments in The Sierra Club Foundation (TSCF), the Sierra Club, and our allies have made this diverse and growing environmental movement possible.
In 2014, we dramatically increased our commitment to clean energy and launched an innovative fund to spur investment in clean energy solutions, while expanding our flagship Beyond Coal Campaign and efforts to achieve environmental justice. Furthermore, we doubled down on our long-standing commitment to wildlands protection and continued to provide meaningful outdoor experiences to people who need it most.
We hope you take some time to consider this 2014 report and the progress your charitable dollars have made in the world. Without you, none of this would be possible. Our deepest thanks for your support!
PETER MARTIN Executive Director STEVEN BERKENFELD 2015 Board Chair
For the first time in a long time, the planet is carbon neutral.
1 Bloomberg Business on March 13: “China Carbon Emissions Decline as 2014 Global CO2 Stays Flat.” An International Energy Agency statement noted that we’re seeing
“the first time in 40 years in which there was a halt or reduction in emissions of the greenhouse gas [carbon dioxide] that was not tied to an economic downturn.”

climate solutions > There are reasons to be hopeful. In 2014, the world added more clean energy than fossil
fuels, a record 100 GW of renewable energy capacity came online, and most Americans
now report wanting more emphasis on developing solar (79%) and wind (70%) power2.
Sustained grassroots pressure on our leadership made it happen.
Local organizing and national coordination work: It’s why TSCF invests in the best
collaborations and innovative campaigns in the environmental movement. It’s why
we partner with communities that are suffering the brunt of industrial pollution and
empower them to help reinvest in clean energy technology and jobs.
Paid organizers generate 20 times their value in volunteer hours, and we leveraged this
capacity with national media, legal, and advocacy work to make more Public Utility
Commissions provide the clean energy their customers want.
2014 marked the Obama administration’s historic effort to limit pollution from power
plants, and we responded by rallying thousands of supporters to give impassioned
testimony at public hearings nationwide in support of the Environmental Protection
Agency’s Clean Power Plan. We also funded getting more electric vehicles on the road,
removing regulatory barriers to properly sited wind projects, and training partners
overseas to leapfrog fossil fuels entirely.
As we launch our public will-building initiative to put even more muscle behind our 100%
clean energy commitment, we are also building the network of funders who understand
the issues and give us a sustainable commitment to moving forward.
A clean energy economy is both achievable and essential—good for jobs, health, and prosperity. It’s not an alternative, it’s the only way forward.

ANNUAL REPORT 2014 > THE SIERRA CLUB FOUNDATION
Local solutions, nationwide A clean-energy economy is paramount to protecting public
health, the environment, and our planet. In 2014, we solidified our commitment to a carbon-free power grid and cutting
domestic oil use in half by 2030. We launched the Forward Fund to get a new generation of investor-philanthropists to help
lead the charge, and locked in our first multi-million dollar seed funding for innovative domestic and international work.
Sierra Club’s My Generation campaign significantly altered the landscape for local clean energy policy in California, our pilot
state, in a monumental push for an unprecedented number of megawatts of solar and wind installed across the country.

Pullman Historic Site in Illinois
Chicago’s first national monument is the birthplace of the first African-American union in America and an emblem of the struggles and hard-earned successes of the country’s early labor movement.
Honouliuli Internment Camp, Hawai’i
Browns Canyon, Colorado
Grand Canyon Watershed in Arizona
The proposed monument would cover 1.7 million acres of desert grasslands, old growth forests, towering cliffs, deep canyons, and freshwater springs that flow into the Colorado River. The region includes the largest unprotected old-growth ponderosa pine forest in the Southwest.
Berryessa Snow Mountain, California
Boulder-White Clouds, Idaho
Securing permanent protections As an initiative within the Our Wild America Campaign,
the Sierra Club has prioritized designating new national monuments as the most effective means of protecting our pristine
and threatened federal lands. Advancing place-based campaigns that build diverse local support and elevate national
attention pays off. In the last two years, President Obama has designated 13 new national monuments, four of them in
2014. He is now poised to leave a significant public lands legacy by designating an additional 6 million acres of new national
monuments in the final two years of his presidency.
Southeastern Utah
The next two years offer the best prospects in decades for securing a range of additional protections in this magnificent “red-rock country.” More than ever, conservation in this unique region deserves prominent support. The Sierra Club is engaging with a wide range of constituents to maximize these protections.

Coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
The biological heart of the entire refuge, home to nearly 200 wildlife species, including bears and caribou. The Club’s community organizer is establishing close relationships with Native residents in the village of Kaktovik on the Beaufort Sea coast, helping them promote their interests in maintaining the region’s long-term environmental welfare. Protecting 1.5 million acres of the coastal plain will ensure this national treasure is not sacrificed for oil and gas drilling.
2017
President Obama has protected 260 million acres of land and water, more than any other
president since the Antiquities Act became law in 1906. This is powerful medicine for an
ailing planet, creating thousands of jobs in local communities, making room for life to
successfully adapt to climate change, protecting our most sensitive species and ecosystems,
and connecting more people to the outdoors.
In the new San Gabriel Mountains National Monument, the Sierra Club spent a decade
building a local coalition of diverse groups that will make this national treasure a boon to
surrounding communities. Low-income families, urban youth, veterans, and others who need
a big wild backyard the most are getting one, and they’re getting involved. This is the new
generation of conservationists.
We partnered with the University of California, Berkeley, and funded research on the science
of “awe” in nature. This will formalize what we intuitively know about the health benefits of
being outdoors in wild, untrammeled places. We envision a day when doctors prescribe time
outdoors as a remedy unto itself.
And because dirty fossil fuels extracted from public lands are responsible for a whopping
21% of all U.S. greenhouse gases, we continued the fight to keep them in the ground—
from North Slope communities in Alaska to special places like the George Washington
National Forest in Virginia, Monterey Shale in California, and Colorado’s Roan Plateau and
Thompson Divide.
Conservation is about improving quality of life—health, habitat, water, air, and wildlands—for everyone.

movement building > With a seed grant from TSCF’s Forward Fund, the Sierra Club helped plan and carry out this
historic event, organizing more than 100 buses and bringing marchers from 35 states to
New York City to demand meaningful climate action and a clean energy future.
Club staff and volunteers collaborated with 1,500 coalition partners—leading from behind to
let the voices of labor, environmental justice, faith groups, low-income communities, people
of color, indigenous peoples, and youth (those who are disproportionately affected by fossil
fuel pollution and climate disruption) speak loudest.
In the end, 400,000 people took to the streets of New York City. More than 2,600 solidarity
events sprang up in 162 countries, reaching billions around the world. All this just two days
before world leaders met in New York for a landmark UN summit on climate.
This is how people-power changes history. It’s how we hold our leaders accountable and
make our democracy better. It’s also what we need to help pave the way for wise, decisive
action at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris in December 2015.
In all of the work we support, we are mindful of building a diverse, inclusive environmental
movement. Whether we engage people through activism or outings, in communities
large and small, or online, we want all global citizens to care about the natural and human
environment and have the support they need to step forward and take action.
The People’s Climate March was the largest climate demonstration—ever.

ANNUAL REPORT 2014 > THE SIERRA CLUB FOUNDATION
Expanding allies locally and globally As a public charity rooted in grassroots advocacy,
we believe there’s strength in numbers. Tackling the climate crisis requires widespread support from diverse allies and
partners. We’ve built relationships with thousands of organizations and individuals not only within the environmental
movement, but also by reaching out to those in labor, public health, faith, and business. We’re inspired by the work of all
who share a vision for a just and healthy planet, and are committed to expanding our partnerships to maximize our impact.

our commitment >
This is the moral imperative that inspires our donors and drives our grant-making.
At the UN Summit, President Obama said climate disruption is “the one issue that will
define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other.” The world is
looking to the United States to lead by example, and so far, solutions championed by
the environmental movement in this country are working.
Good things are happening in the world. With strong support from the Sierra Club, the
Obama administration put mandatory limits on carbon sources. An historic U.S.-China
agreement brought together the world’s largest economies, energy consumers, and
carbon emitters on an issue that affects the entire world. And for the first time in 40
years, global carbon emissions from the energy sector were unchanged in 2014.
Our job, as environmentalists and philanthropists, is to make investments in the future
count and on a scale that can help solve a global crisis and usher in a new clean energy
paradigm. Our commitment to donors is to fund the most effective work of the Sierra
Club, our partners, and our allies, and use successes to leverage future funding and
increased innovation. We steward responsibly, grant strategically, and invest ethically.
Over the next few years, our challenge will be to ensure that leaders in this country and
around the world ignore those who say we can’t move forward, and instead invest in
technologies and people that can. This will take unprecedented public will, and funders
who are willing to build it.
It’s up to us—those with the ability and financial resources to lead on climate—to do everything in our power to protect future generations.
We are committed to
advancing every
opportunity to usher in
a clean energy economy.
We’ve divested from
fossil fuels, expanded
investments in efficiency
and renewable energy
solutions, and are
recruiting more mission-
aligned partners to
leverage each dollar
in pursuit of social
and environmental
justice.”—Geeta Aiyer, Investment Committee Chair

The Forward Fund launched a new kind
of investor philanthropy in 2014, raising
enough funding to seed nine new clean
energy initiatives around the country . In
2015, we’re putting student activists to
work on greening the power grid, moving
San Diego to 100% clean energy as a model
for the rest of the country, and getting more
zero emission buses in urban communities . To
inspire others, all Forward Fund donations will be
matched dollar-for-dollar through December 31.

The foundation for a healthy planet. Our Goals:
» Solve the climate crisis primarily through a successful transition to a resource-
efficient, clean energy economy that better serves people and nature;
» Secure protections for public lands and waters, promote healthy ecosystems and
communities, and fight for clean air and water;
» Expand opportunities for more people to explore, enjoy, and protect the
planet by supporting programs and policies that reach across economic, cultural,
and community lines to get people outdoors; and
» Build a diverse, inclusive environmental movement that reflects and represents
today’s American public, and prioritizes important connections between
environmental health and social justice.
