How to Apply
The Foundation intends to focus its activities on giving grants to land trusts and other organizations dedicated to protecting the environment, especially in ecologically sensitive areas. The Foundation will support charitable organizations that help preserve land in its natural state, re-introduce native plants to areas where they have been removed, and preserve historically significant buildings associated with open space. The Foundation will also support charitable and educational institutions that provide environmentally-related education. The Foundation may also make distributions to local governments or governmental agencies for the preservation of historically significant buildings. Recipient organizations will be required to fill out an application form for the approval process.
