The Brainerd Foundation
Category: Regional
DescriptionThe Foundation’s mission is to protect the environmental quality of the Pacific Northwest (Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and the Yukon Territory). It also seeks to build broad citizen support for environmental protection. Grants are awarded in five programs: Conservation Policy Program (aimed at achieving policy gains at the state or provincial level that ensure the protection of the region’s air, land and water), Conservation Capacity Program (supports efforts to improve the ability of the environmental community to address communications, bolster legal strategies, and strengthen overall organizational capacity), Place Based Conservation Program (encourages landscape and wildlife protection efforts in specific critical landscapes of the region), Opportunity Fund (provides grants to organizations with a timely opportunity to impact a conservation policy debate in the Pacific Northwest) and the Grassroots Fund (supports small organizations confronting critical challenges on the ground in their communities). The Foundation has developed a “theory of change” to serve as a visual representation of its philosophical pathway to social change. The representation and additional information can be found on the Web site. Letters of inquiry are accepted at any time.
