When People Take Care of Nature, Nature Takes Care of People The foundation believes that when people take care of nature, nature takes care of people. That’s why we’re investing in projects that use the power of nature to improve water outcomes for people and ecosystems alike.
Our Environment Program focuses on work that builds lasting capacity and attracts public and private investments that help natural solutions take root across the systems that shape how land and water are managed. We focus on water because that’s where climate change is felt most directly – through drought, wildfire, flooding and declining ocean health.
Healthy wetlands, coastal habitats and headwater forests, alongside climate-resilient fish populations and improved farming practices, protect communities, support economies and build long-term resilience. By improving water outcomes, we can lift up nature and the people who rely on it. Our goal is to back ideas that can grow beyond individual projects and help reshape systems so those ideas can grow successfully and sustainably.
