The Network in Canadian History and Environment (NiCHE) is a volunteer-led, not-for-profit public history organization dedicated to the dissemination of environmental history research in Canada and building a network of researchers.
For the past few years, NiCHE has relied on your generosity to maintain and grow our community, and we’re thrilled by the progress we’ve made together! Last year, your support allowed us to fund a part-time digital strategist/social media editor, offer honoraria to writers in precarious positions, and cover essential hosting fees for our website. And we also supported travel stipends for graduate students to participated in the Canadian History and Environment Summer School (CHESS) in Montreal!
This year, we’re setting our sights on a new goal: $14,000. This would not only sustain our ongoing work but also allow us to provide a well-deserved raise for our digital strategist/social media editor, who volunteers countless hours in addition to their paid work.
NiCHE is a non-profit organization, meaning we operate with a small reserve fund and direct every dollar we raise into our mission. In 2023 alone, our website attracted over 217,000 visitors—a testament to NiCHE’s status as a global hub for environmental history and humanities. Every day, new voices from across Canada and around the world enrich our blog with perspectives that spark important conversations.
Twenty years ago, NiCHE started with a vision made possible by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). Today, it’s you—our community of supporters—who sustain and elevate that vision. To keep our work thriving, we’re reaching out to ask if you can join us with a contribution.
If you like what we do, please consider joining us with a donation. Together, we can ensure that NiCHE continues to thrive as an indispensible resource in environmental history.
Thank you for your support!
