Private Foundations

Some private foundations, both national (e.g. W.K. Kellogg Foundation, C.S. Mott Foundation, Joyce Foundation, and Pond Foundation ) and state and local, invest in projects that address environmental issues. SAI can leverage funds from these foundations for IPM implementation by developing relationships to help influence their priorities and by referring SAI grant applicants to suitable foundations in their area.

 

The Foundation Center
The Foundation Center allows you to search by name for basic financial and contact information on more than 70,000 private and community foundations in the U.S. and provides useful information for grantseekers.

Environmental Grantmakers Association.
Over 100 NGOs have registered with this association. The Environmental Grantmakers Association (EGA), a project of the Rockefeller Family Fund, was formed in 1987 with twelve member foundations from across the United States. Today, they represent over 250 foundations from North America and around the world. This website provides a wealth of information and is the best place to start looking for relationships to cultivate.
