What We Believe

  • Conservation needs people. Human behavior is at the heart of every environmental challenge that the world faces today. If people are part of the problem they must also be part of the solution.
  • The effort to preserve and protect the natural world is ever changing and organizations must be creative and adaptable when designing philanthropic giving strategies.
  • Organizations must assimilate many targets into their efforts to be successful. Efforts must address conservation and development and consider both cure and prevention when addressing conservation issues.
  • Donors that take responsibility for conservation should be rewarded with the ability to follow how they've made an impact and how their contribution was translated into effective and measureable charitable activities. This provides a return of investment and fosters a deeper connection between philanthropic giving and conservation efforts.
  • The most pressing conservation needs include educational outreach, community development that promotes sustainable agriculture and production of goods while safeguarding natural assets (wildlife, fresh water, forests, etc.), promotion of sustainable energy, conservation and preservation of natural resources, rescue and rehabilitation of wildlife, and habitat protection.
  • Collaboration and coordination between institutions and across both public and private sectors is essential for effective species conservation and environmental preservation. Our philosophy involves providing grants and other disbursements to organizations, programs, and projects which are already active in the field and are capable of addressing conservation needs. This collaboration avoids a duplication of efforts and promotes efficiency.
