Vision:

All citizens cultivate a deep appreciation for nature and the environment, and vital natural spaces will be preserved and protected for generations to come.

Strategies:

• Fund local, community-based efforts to increase engagement with nature and protect natural spaces.
• Fund programs that help youth and families from under-resourced communities participate in outdoor experiences.
• Prioritize programs that have synergy with the Foundation's other focus areas.

Types of organizations we fund:

• Working in Minnesota, Dallas, Northern San Francisco Bay Area / Marin County, or Vail Valley
• Provide outdoor experiences for youth and families from under-resourced communities
• Provide gender-specific programs for girls / young women
• Preferably connect with other focus areas across the Foundation
• Seek to permanently preserve and protect natural spaces
