Pennsylvania Chapter

Welcome to the Sierra Club’s Pennsylvania Chapter! We are the only member-led statewide environmental organization in Pennsylvania and we believe our open spaces, clean water, and natural resources should be protected so that current and future generations may enjoy them. In addition to our offices in Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia, we have nine active regional groups all across the state that help us explore, enjoy, and protect our state's many environmental resources and fight for safe and livable communities. Explore our site to see recent action alerts, read the latest blogs, and learn how you can get involved.

Conservation Grants 2024

The PA Chapter Executive Committee has approved a budget of about $40,000 for 2024 for conservation projects. Conservation projects are broadly defined as those that advance the mission of the Sierra Club but do not involve political or legislative activities.  We offer these large and small grants in three separate categories:

  • Chapter Conservation Teams
  • PA Chapter Groups
  • Non-Sierra Club entities (must be 501(c)(3) nonprofit)

Chapter Conservation Teams will get the first opportunity to be considered. There is no deadline (except for the end of the year), but it is first-come-first-serve.  Learn more details here.

If you have an idea or concept, please discuss it with your team/group leaders and get the application process started. It's a very simple process.  You can find our application form here.
