Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize environmental and conservation charities (land trusts, wildlife/ocean organizations, regional conservation groups) seeking modest general‑operating support and able to be introduced or already connected to the foundation.
Good Fit
- • Work focused on conservation, wildlife, or ocean protection.
- • Track record that fits small general‑operating grants in the ~$1,000–$8,000 range.
- • Located in states with prior awards (for example WA, DC, OR, CA, NY) or with a national conservation profile.
- • An existing relationship, referral, or prior grant history with the foundation.
- • Able to use flexible funds for general operations.
Geography
In the latest observed year grants reached organizations in 10 different states, with notable shares in Washington, DC, Oregon, California and New York; out‑of‑state recipients account for the majority of giving, indicating a multi‑state/national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 37 distinct recipients and 38 grants funding many independent conservation groups rather than a single beneficiary, demonstrating a broad recipient set for a small foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is limited but convincing: only one new recipient appeared in the latest year and the foundation explicitly reports it funds preselected applicants, so unfamiliar organizations appear unlikely to enter the portfolio without an introduction.
