Become An Environmental Champion This Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday is around the corner, and this year NSEN is launching something new: an interactive, community-powered fundraising campaign! We’re inviting our supporters to join us as “Environmental Champions” to help spread the word and raise support for local environmental action across the province.
As an Environmental Champion, you’ll create a personal peer-to-peer fundraising page and share it within your own network, whether that’s on social media, by email, or however you usually connect with your community. It’s simple to set up in a few minutes, and every share or donation empowers community-led work in areas like biodiversity, water protection, and climate education! You’ll also have the chance to personalize your page. You can share your own message about why you’re championing NSEN, or draw from our ready-made text.
We’ll support you every step of the way with a toolkit to easily set up your page, ready-to-use social media graphics and messages, and some tips to make participating easy and enjoyable. Plus, we’ll be recognizing our top fundraiser at the end of the campaign, which starts today and runs until December 9, with a $50 MEC gift card!
This Giving Tuesday, let’s counter the noise of consumerism with community, generosity, and local impact. Use our short, step-by-step guide to set up your fundraising page in minutes!

Connecting for a Sustainable Future
Check out the short video below to explore the crucial role NSEN plays in the environmental movement!
Building a Network
NSEN is all about building stronger support systems for the dozens of environmental organizations working towards a sustainable future in Nova Scotia. We use the power of networking to help them collaborate, build capacity, and increase their impact for the benefit of all.
We currently support 50 environmental organizations across Nova Scotia, covering a diverse range of focus areas and activities.
NSEN Member Organizations (September 2024)
We are always looking to connect with more organizations and individuals who want to get involved.
The more the network grows, the stronger it becomes!
Watch NSEN’s Historical Documentary!
In Fall 2021, our team set out on a mission to document NSEN's rich 30-year history as an interconnecting body for Nova Scotia's environmental non-profit community.
Over the following year we produced a 1-hour documentary consisting of interview footage with ten local environmental leaders who have helped shape NSEN since its founding in 1991. Together we explore the past, present, and future of environmental networking in Nova Scotia in hopes of educating the public and inspiring broader participation in the movement during these critical times.
The completed documentary was published online in Spring 2023 to make it freely accessible to everyone. Watch it on YouTube below!
