Mission & Approach

Our mission is to help stabilize Earth's biodiversity and ecological processes for the benefit of humanity, by raising the quantity and improving the effectiveness of financial resources - public and private - brought to bear. We pursue this mission by concentrating our grants on a select number of key initiatives that will make a lasting difference, drawing, as appropriate, on business-based approaches and the finance experience of our staff. We will generally take the initiative in designing the objective and assembling the institutional and financial resources for the projects we undertake.
