The Merck Family Fund

Category

: Regional

Description

The Fund, named after the developer of the pharmaceutical Company, is dedicated to protecting the natural environment and ensuring a healthy planet for generations to come. The Fund also seeks to strengthen the social fabric and the physical landscape of urban communities. The Fund focuses its grantmaking in three areas: conserving ecologically valuable land; reducing CO2 emissions through energy efficiency and carbon pricing, urban farming and youth leadership, and making paper production sustainable. Reducing CO2 emissions grants support the development of political and economic drivers at the federal and state level in the Northeast and Southeast to establish or expand carbon pricing mechanisms. Conserving ecologically valuable land grants provide funds to conserve land in the Southeast. Urban farming and youth leadership grants support initiatives in New York City and Philadelphia as well as low-income urban areas in Massachusetts that help young people to create urban farms and local markets. Additional information including an online letter of inquiry link can be found on the Web site.
