Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized environmental or education organization working on reef/coastal restoration, community-led sustainable development, or university-based education/research, especially with an existing relationship or local partnership linked to the foundation's network.
Good Fit
- • Work on coral reef or coastal ecosystem restoration or related community development.
- • Programs that include education, university partnerships, or research components.
- • Established relationships with foundation contacts, board members, or prior grantees.
- • Request sized similarly to past grants (low- to mid-five-figure general support).
Geography
In the latest year all giving went to a Maryland recipient, but prior years included California and Fiji, so historical footprint spans both U.S. states and Fiji while recent activity is geographically narrow.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded four distinct recipients in both 2022 and 2023 but only one recipient in 2024; this indicates a moderate historical spread of independent grantees with concentration increasing in the most recent year.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates it awards only to preselected grantees and the latest year shows no new recipients; although earlier years included at least one new grantee, the stated preselection policy and recent behavior suggest unsolicited applicants are unlikely to be successful.
