For one hundred years, The Canyon Alliance and its predecessor organizations have served the five historic neighborhoods of Rustic and Santa Monica Canyons. The Canyon Alliance continues this legacy of community leadership for The Canyon. As a non-profit (501c3) charitable membership organization, we promote the environmental, economic, social, and civic welfare of the entire Canyon community, including its residents, businesses, visitors, and the general public.

In the aftermath of the 2025 fires, The Santa Monica Canyon Civic Association changed its name to The Canyon Alliance with a renewed commitment to stewardship of the Canyon and to its long-term resilience in the face of growing environmental threats. The Canyon Alliance is committed to honoring the community’s distinctive history, addressing its current challenges, and strengthening our collective action so that future generations can continue to enjoy a beautiful, historic, resilient, and connected Canyon.
