V KANN RASMUSSEN FOUNDATION
About this foundation
Since its establishment in 1991, the V. Kann Rasmussen Foundation has made hundreds of grants focused on environmental systems, sustainability, and cultural resilience. The foundation favors projects that use a systems approach, consider all life equally important, address root causes, and have international significance or perspective. Recent programming emphasizes nature-centrism as a lens for organizational behavior and decision-making. VKRF operates with a mix of open calls (when active) and invitation-only funding, and generally supports nonprofit organizations with demonstrated leadership.
Funding focus
The urgency of dealing with unsustainable consumption and the consequential impacts to our natural systems are the overall themes for the V. Kann Rasmussen Foundation.
