About Us > Background

The Carbon Reduction Fund (CRF or Fund) is an independent, non-profit organization with the mission to seek out, help develop and secure credible, high-quality carbon offsets for the voluntary market. Founded in late 2007, creation of the Fund was made possible due to the generous financial support of Aeroplan, Canada's premier loyalty marketing company. Aeroplan is also the primary initial purchaser of offsets from the Fund.
