Eligible Projects: The foundation's grant-making is designed to provide frameworks and
concrete examples of how practitioners can protect biodiversity in light of climate change
through strategic land conservation. The program's adaptation efforts focus on three critical
land conservation activities undertaken by non-profit organizations and government natural
resource agencies:
Habitat conservation planning (i.e., the identification of which sites should be conserved
in their natural state to benefit wildlife);
Permanent land protection (i.e., the acquisition of conservation easements or fee title
to secure high priority sites); and C) Management of lands already in protected status.
The goal for each of these activities is to encourage the conservation community to
augment the dominant species-based approach to wildlife conservation with a focus on
maintaining ecosystem functionality as climate change takes hold.
The program has adopted three approaches to achieve its objectives: 1) Identifying
resilient landscapes; 2) Protecting resilient landscapes; and 3) Managing conserved
lands.
Eligible Applicants: nonprofits with tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3)
Funding Available: past grants ranged in the $100K
