Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Circular Economy
Advancing circular economy solutions to end ocean plastic pollution
Bird Conservation
Protecting bird species that are sentinels of environmental quality, helping to curb the loss of ~3 billion birds in North America in the last 50 years. We do this by supporting market-based programs that solve the root causes of the issue.
Marine Ecosystems
Revitalizing vital marine ecosystems such as coral reefs and seagrasses, which are the nurseries of the ocean. We do this by bringing together stakeholders to figure out the underlying causes of the problem and then pilot new approaches.
Mindset of Philanthropy
Shifting the fundamental mindset of the philanthropy world to keep environmental health at the core of our decisions and actions. We do this by supporting the development of behavior change tools and educational resources.
