Greenpeace
Adbusters and Greenpeace have jointly campaigned against corporate interests over global warming. Adbusters’ advertising agency, PowerShift, also produces ads for Greenpeace. “Autosaurus,” an attack on the automobile industry, was aired on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television network, which then pulled it, citing sponsor concerns. Adbusters successfully sued for breach of contract.

Sierra Club
If an effort to boost its "anti-consumption" campaign, the Sierra Club promotes Adbusters' magazine and materials on their website. The Sierra Club's Missouri and Alabama chapter encourages people to observe Adbusters' anti-consumer "Buy Nothing Day." The November/December 2001 issue of Sierra magazine beckoned readers to download anti-globalization radio and television ads from Adbusters' website. The Sierra Club's Sustainable Consumption Task Force recommends subscribing to the Adbusters' quarterly magazine.

Tides Foundation & Tides Center
The Tides Foundation has granted the anti-corporate Adbusters Media Foundation over $170,000 since 1996. Ironically, much of the money Tides funnels to activists comes from foundations started with corporate money, such as Pew Charitable Trusts (Sun Oil money) and the Ford Foundation.
