What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Program
Our Keystone Programs represent NFWF’s core portfolio of conservation initiatives and demonstrate our commitment to making measurable progress in restoring at-risk species. We operate four Keystone Programs: birds, freshwater fish, wildlife and habitat, and marine and coastal ecosystems. Led by our team of PhD scientists, these Keystones address the challenges facing key endangered, threatened, or declining species that are indicators for overall ecosystem health. Success in restoring these populations will demonstrate measurable progress in protecting crucial landscapes and watersheds.
NFWF’s Charter Programs often develop when the Foundation identifies an opportunity for collaboration with a company or agency that shares some of our conservation concerns. Charters tackle a specific environmental problem through a focused and narrow lens, and represent a marriage of NFWF’s expertise and our partners’ financial resources. A great example of a successful Charter Program is Fishing for Energy, through which the Foundation addresses the troubling problem of marine debris. NFWF works with fishermen to collect old fishing gear which in turn is burned by Covanta, an energy company in the US. The net result is a reduction of damaging marine debris and an unusual but effective energy source. To date, the partnership has collected and disposed of over 30 tons of derelict fishing gear from three locations in the northeast United States, with each ton yielding enough electricity to power one home for 25 days.
The Impact-Directed Environmental Account (IDEA) Program receives, manages, and disburses funds that originate from court orders, settlements of legal cases, regulatory permits, licenses, and restoration and mitigation plans. NFWF acts as a fiduciary manager, working collaboratively with government and private-sector stakeholders to grow designated monies while encouraging that the funds are applied to the most effective conservation projects.

Equity strategies
Last updated: 11/02/2020GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more
- We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
- We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
- We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
- We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
- We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
- We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
- We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
- We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
