Glen Canyon Institute is a nonprofit organization focused on restoring Glen Canyon and maintaining a free-flowing Colorado River. Founded in 1996 with support from environmental visionary David Brower, it operates in the environmental services field. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, the institute pursues public education, policy advocacy based on science, and organized citizen activism. The group reports a community of more than 1,500 members and activists across the United States and beyond.

In its work, GCI engages with decision makers and the broader public to address river-management challenges and conservation concerns related to the Colorado River system. A concrete recent development occurred in August 2022 when GCI partnered with the Utah Rivers Council and the Great Basin Water Network to publish a report urging action and greater flexibility in water management.
