The Sierra Club Foundation (SCF) is an independent 501(c)(3) public charity that supports a variety of environmental programs and organizations. SCF is the fiscal sponsor of the Sierra Club’s charitable environmental programs. The Sierra Club is the principal, though not exclusive, recipient of SCF’s charitable grants.

The Sierra Club was founded in 1892 by a group of Californians who wished to sponsor wilderness outings in “the mountain regions of the Pacific Coast.” The naturalist John Muir was its first president (1892–1914) and very soon involved the club in political action to further nature conservation.

In 1892, John Muir and other supporters formed the Sierra Club “to make the mountains glad.” John Muir was the Club’s first president, an office he held until his death in 1914. Muir’s Sierra Club has gone on to help establish a series of new National Parks and a National Wilderness Preservation System.

John Muir, (born April 21, 1838, Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland—died December 24, 1914, Los Angeles, California, U.S.), Scottish-born American naturalist, writer, and advocate of U.S. forest conservation, who was largely responsible for the establishment of Sequoia National Park and Yosemite National Park, which are …

Muir’s advocacy helped create several national parks, including Sequoia (1890), Mount Rainier (1899) and Grand Canyon (1908). He wrote “only Uncle Sam” could save our country’s land for future generations to enjoy, an idea that led to the creation of the National Park Service in 1916.

As America’s most famous naturalist and conservationist, Muir fought to protect the wild places he loved, places we can still visit today. Muir’s writings convinced the U.S. government to protect Yosemite, Sequoia, Grand Canyon and Mt. Rainier as national parks.

Because of his influential writings and role in the creation of multiple parks, he is often called “The Father of Our National Park System.” John Muir also co-founded the Sierra Club in 1892 and was its first president until his death in 1914.
