"Montana's Conservation Fund"
The Cinnabar Foundation was created in 1983 to support the constitutional right of Montanans to a clean & healthful environment.

WELCOME

The Cinnabar Foundation is the extraordinary legacy of Len and Sandy Sargent. Through their vision and generosity, and the philanthropy of others, the Foundation: 

  • Invests in Nonprofits to fulfill their missions through strategic grants, networking, and educational opportunities;
  • Identifies and Addresses Montana's Conservation Needs by engaging in partnerships to solve problems and create a better and more sustainable quality of life for all; and
  • Partners with Donors by sharing our knowledge of Montana's conservation needs and issues to make charitable giving easy and making donations exceptionally effective.

As activists and philanthropists, the Sargents always were willing to add their voices and offer their financial support to Montana's grassroots environmental movement. As you explore our website, we hope you'll discover that spirit is alive and well.
The Cinnabar Foundation is a qualified, nonprofit, tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
